Shamus

Richie Smith raised to 3,000 before the flop and was called by Wendy Weissman. The flop came {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

. Smith checked, Weissman pushed all in for about 25,000, and after a period of contemplation Smith made the call.

Weissman had {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

, but Smith had {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

. The turn {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

and river

{5-Hearts}

didn't change things, and Weissman is out. Smith is up to 70,000.

Smith tells us he won his entry via a satellite hosted by 2005 WSOP Main Event runner-up Steve Dannenmann. Looks like Smith currently has about twice what Dannenmann does, as Dannenmann has 36,000.
