Sammartino Cracks Aces to Double
Level 5
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Dario Sammartino opened to 1,400 from the cutoff and called when Takahiro Tsugu three-bet to 5,600 from the small blind.
The Q♠10♣9♠ flop checked through to the 10♥ turn and Tsugu fired for 3,500. Sammartino made it 10,500 and was called.
Tsugu checked on the 2♦ river, and after some thought, Sammartino moved all in for 21,300. Tsugu wasn't thrilled about the spot but called as the slightly bigger stack.
Sammartino had 10♦7♦ for trip tens and the winner while Tsugu had A♦A♥, which then went into the muck.
