Smith Falls in Champion-on-Champion Clash
Niveau 11
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jeremy Anderson open-jammed in middle position and two-time champion Joel Smith called behind him to send fellow champion Craig Ashley into the tank into the big blind. Eventually Ashley called to put both players at risk with the final table bubble looming.
Joel Smith: A♦J♦ 
Jeremy Anderson: A♠Q♥
Craig Ashley: A♥7♥
Anderson had both opponents pipped but Smith took the lead on the flop of J♥9♣K♦. It was short-lived as the Q♠ turn put Anderson ahead before the 3♠ river to mark Smith's elimination.
"The rookie who hasn't qualified yet takes it!" Anderson cheered as he scooped the three-way pot.
