Chris Moorman raised to 44,000 from the small blind and found a caller in Mike Sowers in the big. The flop saw Moorman check-call a bet of 56,000, which was followed by another check-call for 115,000 on the turn.

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