Mallory Smith Eliminated in 12th Place ($13,587)

Ralph Rudd comes limping into the pot, and Mallory Smith raises all in for his last 14,000. Andrew Brown calls, Kia Hooshmand does as well, and Rudd comes over the top of the table with a reraise. Both of his live opponents call, and the four men go to the flop.

The first three cards dealt out are {Q-Hearts}

, and action is checked around.

The turn card is the {7-Diamonds}

. It checks around to Brown, and this time, he puts in a bet. Hooshmand folds, but Rudd sticks around to the river.

That river card brings the {7-Clubs}

, and both men check it down. Smith is at risk, and he tables {A-Spades}

. Brown, however, has that beat, showing down {6-Diamonds}

, and taking the full pot with the straight.

Mallory Smith is sent out earlier than he would have hoped, but he will earn more than $13,000 for his efforts over the last three days.
