On the

Tang would use a time bank chip before going over the top of both of his opponents. Hecklen got out of the way and Petrangelo looked defeated as his head sank and he mustered a wry smile before putting in the rest of his stack.
Nick Petrangelo: 
Danny Tang:

Dan Smith: 
Michael Addamo: 
Although Smith had Addamo essentially dominated, he could not escape Addamo's heater as the flop came 
to give Addamo a big lead. The 
gave Smith some hope as he could then hit a ten for a straight along with his queen outs.
But the river 
did not do it for Smith and he was sent to the rail as Addamo increased his already impressive chip lead.
