Sammartino Ousted by Benitez

Level 13 : 2,250/4,500, 550 ante

Dario Sammartino open shoved under the gun for his last 54,161 and was called by Francisco Benitez in the cutoff. Everyone else folded.

Benitez: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Sammartino: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Sammartino found himself in terrible shape going into the flop, which came {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Spades}.

The {5-Clubs} turn gave Sammartino outs to a chop, but the {10-Hearts} fell on the river — eliminating Sammartino and sending him back to re-enter, which he promptly did.

Ponakovs' Full House Best

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 600 ante

Aleks Ponakovs opened to 10,000 from under the gun and was called by "MarathonOG" in the small blind and "illywilly97" in the big.

All three players checked both the {q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop and {4-Diamonds} turn.

However, after the {7-Spades} completed the board, "MarathonOG" led out for 22,620, which was called by "illywilly97." Ponakovs then went all-in for 88,200 — getting a quick fold from "MarathonOG" and a tank call from "illywilly97."

Ponakovs showed down {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for a flopped full house, which was best against the {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} of "illywilly97" for trips.
