Sapiano Climbing the Counts

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a board of 9546 with around 600,000 chips already in the pot, Albert Sapiano in the small blind and Kianoosh Matin in the big blind both tapped the table.

A 10 on the river put four diamonds on board and Sapiano put out a teasing bet of 100,000. Despite being all-fired unwilling to put another dime into the pot, Matin eventually stuck in a call.

Sapiano then calmly rolled over 98 for a flush, and Matin shook his head as he mucked.
