Pudel Takes From Sammartino
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Dario Sammartino opened his A♥K♦ from under the gun and called when Nils Pudel called on his left with 8♥8♣. Eric Tsai folded his A♠5♥ in the big blind.
Pudel's pair was best on the 9♥5♠5♣ flop, and action checked through to the 7♦ turn. Pudels called a bet of 160,000, which brought in the 2♣ river, giving him the best hand.
Sammartino checked and Pudel bet 775,000. The Italian made the ace-high call for the chips to go to Pudel.
