Sumanth Reddy opened to 1,700 from the hijack seat. In the next seat over Gavin Smith reraised to 3,400. Action folded to the Thiago Nishijima in the big blind who moved all in over the top of Gavin Smith's reraise. Before he could do that though, Reddy made an accidental call of Smith's raise out of turn. Immediately he apologized and pulled back his chips and Nishijima's raise stood.
Reddy ended up folding his hand, but Smith instantly called.
Smith:
Nishijima:
The board came down giving Smith two pair and eliminating Nishijima from the tournament.
"Me and you would've had an epic battle," Reddy told Smith. "I had ."
"I'll tell you one thing," Smith said. "If you called we'd be fighting alright. I would've beat the living s*** out of you."
With that Smith picked up the chip lead at his table.
Jean-Pascal Savard and Robert Cheung were all in preflop. Savard had which crushed Cheung's . The board ran out . There was confusion on who had more chips.

Taylor Paur and Betrand "ElkY" Grospellier were involved in a pot on a flop of . Paur put out a bet of 2,300 from middle position and Grospellier called from the button.
The turn was the and both players checked. On the river, Paur put out another bet, this time 4,500. Grospellier asked for a count of the bet, then called. Paur flipped over the for a turned set and it was good to take down the pot.
We found Allen Kessler in position against Nacho Barbero in a heads-up pot on the end. The board read , and a considerable pot had already been built up. Barbero checked, and Kessler fired 10,000. After thinking for awhile, Barbero splashed a stack of yellow chips in to call.
"You got it," Kessler said, tossing into the middle. Barbero turned over for just a pair of fives.
The tournament supervisor came up to Thiago Nishijima's table to talk to him. Apparently Nishijima was registered in the four-max tournament over in Brasilia. They had been blinding him off over there and they were about to pick up his chips. Nishijima realizing the fact that it would be virtually impossible to run back and forth from both tournaments, especially a four-max tournament, asked the supervisor if he can get a refund from the four max event.
The Supervisor informed Nishijima that he could unregister from the four-max but he could only do it one time this series. Nishijima obliged and his $2500 from the four-max will be sitting in the cage for him to pick up whenever he chooses.
Gavin Smith also at the table not quite sure why Nishijima registered early for the four-max gave Nishijima a needle by saying, "So you don't expect to win a lot?"
Smith was referring to the fact that Nishijima was probably expecting to lose from yesterday's Day 1 of this event. Smith also made the point to Nishijima,"You know you can register the day of the tournament." This got a laugh out of Nishijima.
Nishijima doing fine in this event won't be registering in anything else for the day as he plans on taking this title down.
