Smith Spikes Fives To Eliminate Pierron

We missed the exact preflop action, but it appeared that Dan Smith raised from early position, was three-bet by William Pierron in the cutoff and action folded back around to Smith - who made the call.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Smith instantly bet enough to put Pierron all in for his remaining stack. Pierron snap-called and hands were revealed.

Pierron: {A-}{A-}
Smith: {5-}{5-}

Pierron was in excellent shape, and would stay in excellent shape when the {8-Hearts} fell on the turn. However, the {5-Spades} river left Smith with a set and Pierron hit the table in frustration upon seeing his bad luck. He then stood up, wished his table good luck and headed to the payout desk.

Smith is up to 620,000 following the knockout.
