Ari Engel and Steve Smith played the hand of the day with only minutes remaining in play. On the river the board was 8h 6c 4h 7d 4c, Smith checked from the big blind, Engel bet 45,000 and Smith shoved all in.

Engel tanked for a good five minutes, called and tabled Tx 9x for the nut straight. But Smith turned over pocket eights for a rivered full house. The stacks were close, counted down and Smith had him covered.

Steve Smith - 285,000

Paul Oresteen -
