Sammartino Busts Volkmann and Rolle

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 600 ante

Bruno Volkmann open-jammed for 95,143 on the button soon after coming back from the break and was called by Dario Sammartino out of the big blind.

Bruno Volkmann: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Dario Sammartino: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The tens held thanks to a board of {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

One hand later, Sammartino raised to 35,000 out of the small blind and Benjamin Rolle called all-in for the 26,169 he had left in the big blind.

Benjamin Rolle: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Dario Sammartino: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The board brought {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades} and Sammartino spiked the winning flush on the turn.

Big Clashes in Quick Succession

Level 14 : 2,250/4,500, 550 ante
Van der Spuy vs Gierse
Van der Spuy vs Gierse

Mustapha Kanit scored a big double when his {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} out of the small blind held against Artur Martirosian's {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. They got it in after the {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs} turn with Martirosian holding a big draw. However, the {5-Spades} river was not enough.

Marius Gierse then clashed with Jean-Pierre "Kunkuwap" Van Der Spuy to create one of the biggest pots so far.

Jean-Pierre "Kunkuwap" Van Der Spuy: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Marius Gierse: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} board gave the South African a set of tens and Gierse dropped below the starting stack.

Last but not least, Wiktor Malinowski raised and four-bet jammed for 234,870 total following a three-bet of just 28,800 by Dario Sammartino. The latter called to create another pot of nearly half a million.

Wiktor Malinowski: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Dario Sammartino: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{6-Spades} board gave Sammartino top set and Malinowski vanished for now.

Yan Runs Into it a Third Time

Level 14 : 2,250/4,500, 550 ante

Timothy Nuter raised to 9,900 and David Yan called out of the big blind. On a {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, Yan check-called for 7,770 and Nuter called. They checked the {q-Spades} turn and Yan led the {k-Diamonds} river for 71,100 with 230 chips behind.

Nuter called with {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for broadway and Yan's {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for the nut flush blocker left him with dust. The last few chips vanished right after as Yan succumbed a third time.
