Sammartino's Aces are Good for a Double
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Dario Sammartino raised it up from the hijack and was just called by both of the blinds. The flop came 8♣7♠3♦ and Michele Nizzardelli led out with a bet of 3,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded and Sammartino raised to 12,000. Nizzardelli reraised to 60,000 and Sammartino stuck in the last of his 52,500 chips.
Dario Sammartino: A♣A♦
Michele Nizzardelli: Q♠Q♦
Sammartino was out front with his pocket aces and the 6♣ on the turn left it that way. The 8♦ paired the board on the river and Sammartino doubled up late on Day 1b.
