Dan Smith Eliminated in 14th Place ($89,669)
Level 14
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Picking up the action after the flop, Dan Smith in the big blind was involved in a hand with Anton Morgenstern from under the gun. With the board reading 9♣4♠2♠ Smith checked to Morgenstern, who jammed. Smith, after thinking for some time, called off with the effective stack to put himself at risk.
Dan Smith: 9♠8♦
Anton Morgenstern: J♠10♠
Smith was ahead with top pair but would need to fade his opponent's many outs. The Q♥ turn gave Morgenstern an open ended straight draw to go along with his flush draw and two overs with the K♠ river bringing in the flush to send Smith to the payout desk in 14th place.
