Eslami Hits Quads; Smith's Bad Luck Continues

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ali Eslami

Ali Eslami opened in early position and Daniel Strelitz flat-called in the small blind. Spencer Smith took the opportunity to three-bet jam a stack of 42,500 from the big blind and Eslami four-bet to 95,000. Strelitz folded.

Ali Eslami: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Spencer Smith: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Smith was in trouble as he had run into kings and the flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds} improved Eslami to a set.

"That's not good," reacted Smith.

The {8-Diamonds} on the turn created some sweat potential as Smith picked up a gutshot straight draw but the {k-Clubs} arrived on the river to give Eslami quads to eliminate Smith, who won two Circuit rings earlier this year at WSOPC Cherokee for a total of $214,571.

"I NEVER WIN ANYTHING!!!" the two-time ring winner yelled sarcastically as players and floor staff erupted in laughter.
