Event 4: Overtime

East Coast Championship
$7200 + $300 (NL)

Crowder's Conundrum

All but two of the 40 remaining players are bagged and tagged as there's a showdown at the O.K. Corral.

The board shows: 7K 8 3 3 when Gavin Smith bets out 16k after a check from Keith Crowder, who's now in the midst of an internal debate.

"Do you want me to fold my king," he asks while standing in front of his seat. "Man, the last hand of the night," he continues. "Will you show this one?"

Smith shakes his head no.

Crowder is struggling to make a decision, as the clock is now 5 minutes past the completion of Level 6, the last of the night. "Tomorrow's another day," says Smith. "Today's another day," Crowder retorts.

After a few more seconds, Crowder throws the 16k in the pot and Smith turns over K 7 for a ftwo pairs and Crowder mucks. "That seat has out flopped me all day. Good hand," he says, as Smith rakes the pot.

Smith ends the night with 128,265 and is the chip leader, while Crowder looks to regroup as the hit takes him down to 13k.

A complete list of remaining players and chip counts will be posted after 9 am. Play resumes noon Wednesday in The Signature Room.
