A series of preflop raises led to Eric Smidinger and Martin Yates taking to a flop for 5,500 a pop.

Yates led out with a 10,100 continuation bet from the big blind, and Smidinger called to see the pair the board on the turn.

An all-in bet was then made by Yates, and he was met with a snap call from Smidinger.

Yates was left drawing dead after seeing Smidinger roll over trip eights, and the river sent him to the rail.

Eric Smidinger - 77,800
