Jeremiah Smith

Jeremiah Smith is laying waste to his table, with a little luck on his side to be sure. After seeing an {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

flop with Jarrett Peter, all the money went in with Smith's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

trailing Peter's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

. But the turn brought the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

and the river the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and Smith's runner-runner flush was good enough to eliminate Peter and push Smith's stack up to 475,000.

Not long after, Smith won another huge pot. He raised to 4,000 before the flop and the big blind called. The flop came {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

and the two players exchanged raises until the big blind was all in. He had two pair with {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

--but Smith had middle set with {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

. The

{6-Clubs}

on the turn gave the other player a chance at a chop as well but the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

fell on the river and Smith sent another player out of the Main Event. He also built his stack up to 575,000.
