Smith showed Kh4s, good for top pair and the second nut flush draw. He was in the lead against Foxen’s Jh9s. Foxen’s heart draw was dead and needed a nine or a jack to continue the match.

The turn was the 6s and the river was the As to give the pot to Smith and eliminate Foxen.

Smith will come back tomorrow in the money and at the final table.
