Dan Smith Wins Heat 5 Table 2 in Spectacular Fashion
With just a few minutes remaining in the penultimate level of the last heat of day, Dan Smith was calculating if he could win it just then and there by not playing too many hands anymore. He used several time banks, giving his both opponents fewer options to gain chips.
And then this happened.
Andrea Dato announced he was all in blind from the button. "Ok, ok, I too all in" Lunkin said.
With two players all in blind, the two triangles were tossed in front of them and the cards were dealt.
Dan Smith glanced at his cards, and the rail behind him erupted in laughter as they got a sneak peek as well. Smith called.
Andrea Dato: 
Vitaly Lunkin: 
Dan Smith: 
Smith got just about good a flop as he could ask for: 
. The 
on the turn gave Lunkin some outs, but the 
on the river wasn't one of them.
"King Dan! Long live the king!" shouted the just busted Bryn Kenney.
Smith knocked out both his opponents in the same hand, and guaranteed the win for Team United States. Smith and the rest of Team United States have the first half of the day off, they go straight through to the semi finals.
