Jeremiah Smith, on a downward trend all afternoon, was down to his last 47,000 chips. He put them in the middle with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Spades}

. Action folded to Thomas "Thunder" Keller in the big blind. He didn't want to call, but with 12,000 chips already out there, he made a reluctant call and tabled {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{5-Spades}

. The board ran out {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

to make trip kings for Smith and double him up to about 100,000.

"It's been a rough day," said Smith after dragging the pot. A player at the table told him he was back in it. Smith replied that he wouldn't feel like he was back in it until he doubled at least two more times.
