Tommy Hang Eliminated in 3rd Place ($97,884)

Tommy Hang has just been eliminated on the last hand before the dinner break. Hang had managed to double up right before this break, but has just lost all his chips to Michael Saltzburg.

Hang committed the last of his chips on sixth street when the betting was capped and here is how the cards looked.

Saltzburg: {j-Hearts} {j-Spades} / {4-} {j-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} / {x-}
Hang: {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} / {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} {10-Hearts} {6-Clubs} / {x-}

As you can see, Saltzburg already had the full house and Hang was drawing dead going into seventh street. Saltzburg was dealt the meaningless {k-Clubs} and Hang was dealt his meaningless {a-Diamonds} and with that, Hang was eliminated in 3rd place. We are down to heads-up!
