Josh Smith
Chipleader Josh Smith has more than 25% of all the chips in play before they’ve even reached the final table.

After the elimination of Joel Harwood in 13th place, hand-for-hand play began on the Money Bubble.

It didn’t take long. In the first hand, Phil Hui got his stack all in on the turn against Josh Smith on a board of Kh9c8c10s.

Josh Smith:  KsQhJh2d  (king-high straight)
Phil Hui:  AhAc6c6h  (ace-high flush draw)

With no possible lows, Smith had the nuts on the turn, but Hui’s flush draw kept his hopes alive if he could spike a club on the river.

The river card was the 5h, and Smith won the pot with his straight to burst the Money Bubble and eliminate Hui in 12th place.

Josh Smith  –  540,000  (23 BB)
Phil Hui  –  Eliminated
