Sammartino Picks Off Nazarian in a Massive Pot

Karen Nazarian raised to 21,000 in early position before Dario Sammartino three-bet to 90,000 in the big blind.

Nazarian called and they went heads-up to the Q♣J♠7♥ flop. Sammartino continued for 70,000 and Nazarian put in a raise to 209,000.

Sammartino called to the 6♥ turn, where both players slowed down and checked. Sammartino also checked the A♦ river.

Nazarian spent a few moments shuffling some green 25,000 chips in his right hand before sliding them in the middle, a bet totaling 300,000.

Sammartino let out a loud sigh as he went deep into the tank. "Do you have ace-queen," he asked Nazarian, who remained silent starting straight ahead. Sammartino burned through three time banks before putting in the chips to call.

Nazarian shook his head and revealed J♣9♣ for just a pair of jacks. Sammartino slammed down A♠K♠ for a rivered pair of aces as he took down the massive pot.
