Sammartino with the Check-Raise

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

In the last hand of Level 6, Stephen Chidwick raised to 6,000 from the hijack and Koray Aldemir called from the button. Dario Sammartino came along from the big blind and three players saw the {9-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop.

Sammartino checked, Chidwick continued for 8,000, and Aldemir folded. Sammartino then check-raised to 23,000, Chidwick called, and action went check-check on both the {10-Clubs} turn and {4-Clubs} river.

Sammartino showed the {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a failed flop bluff, and Chidwick was pushed the pot thanks to his {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Despite losing that hand, Sammartino is still up from the last time we checked in on him.
