Hand #78 - [Removed:14] Eliminated in 5th Place ($214,884)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Marty Smyth has the button in Seat 8. After two folds, he raises to 200,000. Only [Removed:14] calls.

The flop is {j-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {a-Diamonds}. Harroch quickly moves all in and, like a lightning bolt, Smyth's chips are in the middle to match him.

Harroch: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}
Smyth: {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {4-Clubs} {4-Spades}

Harroch is in a world of hurt. He has top pair and a gutshot straight draw against Smyth's set of fours. The turn card is the {5-Diamonds}, giving Harroch two pair, aces and fives. That gives him a full house draw to go along with his gutshot straight draw.

The board does pair on the river, but the {4-Hearts} gives Smyth quads and doesn't improve Harroch. We hope he enjoyed his dinner, because he didn't get much time on the TV table once play resumed. The $214,884 in prize money he will collect will probably ease the pain. Somewhat.
