Only a few hands after Ralph Macri's elimination, Ryan Eriquezzo found himself all in with [8s][8c] and was flipping against Chris Smith's [Js][Td]. The [Ac][3d][Jc] favored the big stack, and Ryan would need to catch an eight to extend the heads up battle. The [7d] turn was a close call, but not quite what he needed. When the [Jh] hit the river, Chris improved his hand to trip jacks, sending Ryan to the rail in 2nd place, good for $16,487.
Chris Smith has won Event #4 $300 NLH, capturing the title, the trophy, and the $26,381 first place prize. Chris has to return to work tomorrow, but plans to come back to Foxwoods for the Championship Event on Saturday. Congratulations, Chris!
