Livello 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.

Seth Davies: Q♠9♠

The board ran out 6♥10♥10♣2♥6♦ and Mateos was knocked out of the tournament while Davies added to his stack.

Livello 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Dan Smith opened in the cutoff and action folded to Masashi Oya in the big blind who moved all in for 750,000. Smith quickly called to put his opponent at risk.

Masashi Oya: 2♦2♠
Dan Smith: A♦K♦

It was essentially a flip but Smith pulled into a commanding lead on the K♥8♥Q♦ flop. The 8♠ turn changed nothing but Oya spiked the 2♥ on the river to double and survive, leaving Smith short.
