Venovski Bests Smith; First to Advance to Round of 16

Level 3 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

We caught the aftermath of a hand where the board read {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Alexander Venovski was all in for his tournament life. He had {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a full house and was crushing Smith's {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.

The {10-Hearts} came on the river and gave Venovski quads to seal the deal and allow him to double up. This hand knocked Smith down to just 41,000.

Smith got it all in the next hand with {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and was called by Venovski's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. A run out that read {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts} ensured that Venovski would be the first player for move on to the round of 16.
