Jeff Smith Rivers the Dream in a Sick Hand

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

With John Racener all in preflop, Jeff Smith and another opponent headed to the flop, which came {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Both players moved all in, and everyone's hands were tabled.

Smith: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Racener: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Smith had been outdrawn by his opponent's flopped full house and was in trouble. The turn card was the {4-Clubs}, which changed nothing. Racener needed a jack, and Smith needed an ace.

The dealer flipped over the {a-Hearts} to complete the board, and Smith scooped the entire pot to bust both opponents.
