Micah Smith Eliminated in 4th Place ($222,044)

Chad Holloway

A short-stacked Micah Smith raised to 105,000 from the cutoff and received a call from Jan-Peter Jachtmann. The {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {2-Spades} flop saw Jachtmann lead out and Smith called off his remaining 115,000.

Showdown
Smith: {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs}
Jachtmann: {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} {A-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}

Smith was ahead with two pair, but the {2-Clubs} turn counterfeited him by giving Jachtmann jacks and deuces. The {6-Diamonds} river was of no consequence and Smith took his leave in fourth place.

Action folded to Jan-Peter Jachtmann in the cutoff and he raised to 75,000, which Andrew Brown and Steven Silverman called from the button and big blind respectively. All three players then checked the {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {9-Hearts} flop before Silverman checked the {Q-Clubs} turn.

Jachtmann took the opportunity to bet 100,000, which was enough to get both his opponents to fold.

Jan-Peter Jachtmann opened for 75,000 from the cutoff and Steven Silverman defended from the big blind. The latter check-called a bet of 75,000 on the {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs} flop, and then both players checked the {9-Spades} turn.

When the {4-Spades} peeled off on the river, Silverman check-called a bet of 175,000, but mucked when Jachtmann rolled over {A-Spades} {2-Spades} {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} for the nuts.

After Andrew Brown raised to 65,000 from the cutoff, Andy Seth potted from the button to 240,000. Brown made the call and then led out for a pot-sized bet on the {8-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {3-Clubs} flop. Seth decided it was time and moved all in for right around 530,000, and Brown made the call.

Showdown
Seth: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {3-Spades}
Brown: {J-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {7-Hearts}

Seth was ahead with kings when the chips went in, but the {9-Clubs} turn delivered Brown two pair. Much to Seth's dismay, the {5-Diamonds} river would give his opponent a full house and send him to the payout desk in fifth place, good for $165,665.

Jan-Peter Jachtmann raised to 70,000 from the cutoff and was called by Andrew Brown on the button. The {5-Spades} {6-Spades} {J-Spades} flop saw Jachtmann lead out for 85,000, Brown called, and then both players checked the {5-Hearts} turn.

Jachtmann returned to betting on the {A-Diamonds} river, this time firing out 110,000. Brown responded by making it 450,000 to go, and Jachtmann called with {A-Spades} {4-Spades} {7-Hearts} {3-Spades} . It proved good as Brown simply mucked.

Smith Doubles Through Brown

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Action folded to Andrew Brown in the cutoff and he raised to 65,000, which prompted Micah Smith to move all in for 195,000 from the button. Both blinds got out of the way and Brown made the call.

Showdown
Smith: {Q-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {J-Spades}
Brown: {3-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {6-Spades}

The {10-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} flop gave Smith a nice straight draw, but it'd be the running {9-Diamonds} turn and {6-Diamonds} river that would give him a queen-high flush and the win.
