Dario Sammartino Eliminated in 3rd Place ($193,537)
Level 43
: 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
Dan Smith open-shipped all in on the button and Dario Sammartino called off his stack of 1,410,000 to put himself at risk.
Dario Sammartino: 
Dan Smith: 
It looked quite possible that a chop would take place again, but the flop of 
gave Smith the lead with a pair of fours. The 
on the turn gave Sammartino some more outs but the 
on the river sealed the deal.
Sammartino fell just short of winning his first WSOP bracelet while Dan Smith will be looking for his first when he takes on Christoph Vogelsang in the final.
