Jerry Wong moved all in from the small blind and David Smart went into the tank from the big blind. After several minutes in the tank, Smart called and was all in for about 260,000.

Smart showed 8h8c and was in the lead against Wong’s 3s3h.

The flop was AhJh9h and Smart kept the lead. The turn was the 3c, however, and Wong turned a set to leave Smart drawing slim. The river was the 2d and Smart was eliminated in 24th place.

He took home $12,300 and Wong neared the million chip mark.

“Is that how you make the November Nine?” asked another player at the table. “You just get it in bad and get there?”

“He’s using up all of his run good now,” joked Justin Young.

Jerry Wong – 900,000 (75 bb)
David Smart – Eliminated
