Smith Wins Big Pot Against Addamo
As the other tables emptied, the final hand on Table 29 lasted 10 minutes into the dinner break. Asa Smith had raised, and there were two callers before Michael Addamo squeezed out of the big blind. Smith then four-bet to 5,900, and only Addamo called.
After the 
flop, Addamo check-called a bet of an unknown amount, and did the same on the 
turn for 11,500. The 
fell on the river, and Addamo checked. Smith asked Addamo for his stack size before moving all in for 38,675. Smith stared at the table just in front of him while Addamo was in the think tank for well over five minutes.
Eventually, Addamo threw a yellow T5,000 chip to the middle of the table and made the call for the vast majority of his own stack. Addamo would only muck his cards, though, as Smith showed the 
for top two pair. Addamo quickly left the tournament area, and Smith stacked the chips with shaky hands before also heading into the break.
