Sammartino Left Short after Making Big Fold
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Nathan Tetart opened to 40,000 under the gun holding A♣2♣ and Dario Sammartino defended in the big blind with Q♦5♦.
Both players connected with the Q♥4♣5♣ flop with Sammartino making top two pair and Tetart flopping both a flush and straight draw. Sammartino checked and Tetart checked as well.
On the 3♠ turn Sammartino bet 65,000 and Tetart just called with his turned straight.
Sammartino bet again on the 4♥ river, this time for 165,000, leaving just 210,000 behind. Tetart moved all in with a covering stack sending Sammartino into the tank.
After using two time extensions Sammartino correctly folded his two pair and Tetart took down a nice pot just before the break.
