Tyler Smith Eliminated in 15th Place ($43,976)

Action folded to Joe Ebanks in the cutoff and he put in a raise to 37,000. Both the button and small blind folded, but Tyler Smith resisted with a three-bet all in for around 400,000. Ebanks made the call and Smith was at risk,

Ebanks: {A-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Smith {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts}

Smith had some major kicker problems and the {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} flop wasn't much help, though it did give him chop outs. The {2-Clubs} turn added to those chop outs, but the {J-Spades} river sealed Smith's fate as our 15th-place finisher.
