David Peters raised under the gun and action folded to Jeremiah Smith who was still reorganizing his chip stack. Smith stopped talking rubgy with a tablemate and pushed out two tall orange stacks totaling 200,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Peters looked at his stack, then to Smith, and then said "I call," and had his last 160,000 on the line.

Smith rolled over {9-Clubs}

and Peters held {Q-Hearts}

. Before any action was dealt, the table was swarmed by media and other players, even some railbirds made it into the fray.

"I'm sorry," said Smith. Implying that a beat would be delivered. "It's your standard race situation."

After the camera crew cleared up the preflop action, the flop came {10-Clubs}

, and Smith flopped the straight right off, with a club redraw.

"Running so good!" yelled Greg Mueller from the edge of the crowd.

The turn brought some outs for Peters with the {10-Hearts}
