All-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Mark "Pegasus" Smith has had no luck here in the Big Easy. Yesterday he was eliminated early in the first level on Day 1a, inspiring him to exercise his re-entry option. While he managed to make it through to Day 2, he did so on a short stack.

Smith nursed that short stack for a few levels today, but recently committed his last 9,000 with {A-}{J-} after his opponent, who happened to hold {A-}{K-}, had opened for 4,000. Smith would find no help and his shot at a sixth gold ring has come to an end.
