We join the action in a big pot involving one of the aforementioned pros, Gavin Smith. He was tangled up with an older gentleman who was new to the table, and one of them is now out of chips.

You may be able to guess which one.

On the flop, the board showed {7-?} {3-?} {3-?}, and the older gentleman led out with a bet. Smith put in a raise, and watched as his opponent moved all in for a substantial amount of chips. Smith snap-called him, having his man well covered.

Showdown:
Smith: {K-?} {3-?}
Opponent: {7-?} {5-?}

The turn and river failed to improve the at-risk player, and he was eliminated. As he stood from his chair, he quipped, "I didn't believe you had it, Kevin."

With that, Gavin has shot to the top of the leaderboard, sitting now on just less than 140,000.
