Smith Lands First Blow to Addamo's Title Defense
Level 7
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
From the cutoff, Michael Addamo raised. Dan Smith three-bet to 75,000 from the small blind. Addam then four-bet a bit more than a click back for 160,000. Smith five-bet jammed and Addamo snap-called.
Michael Addamo: 
Dan Smith: 
Smith had Addamo covered and in big trouble as it was black kings vs red queens. The flop came 
to not give Addamo much outside of backdoor straight possibilities. The turn was the 
to eliminate the queen of spades as on out for Addamo who was now drawing to only the queen of clubs. The river was the 
and Addamo was busted.
With the tournament being re-entry however, the field will need two blows to kill off the high roller behemoth in order to guarantee a new champion for this event.
