One Less Smith

A bit of a wild hand has resulted in the elimination of Jordan Smith. Smith, the big blind, moved all in for about 25,000 after the cutoff player opened to 1,500 and was called by button Bill Melvin. The cutoff then four-bet all in for 60,000 and Melvin again called!

Smith: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Melvin: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

"And I was like 'please call, please call!'" said Smith, upon seeing Melvin's hand. None of the players improved their starting hand after the board rolled out {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Melvin's kings held up to drag the whole pot and eliminate two players.
