  • The final table has just had its first elimination. Kelly Smith started the final table with just 48K in chips but in early action had doubled up to just over 100K. In the hand in question it folded around to her in the hijack and she pushed her two stacks to the centre. Karo Lyne Dufour in the cutoff insta-shoved over the top and the button and blinds folded.

    Kelly flipped over a serious hand – Ace of Hearts Queen of Hearts, but unfortunately for her, Karo had the most serious hand – Ace of Diamonds Ace of Clubs.

    The board runout of 6 of Clubs 9 of Clubs 6 of Hearts 5 of Hearts 10 of Clubs didn’t give Kelly help (though the turn was a pretty interesting card) and her tournament is over.
