Sammartino Pays off Chidwick; Busts

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

On a flop of {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Stephen Chidwick checked his option in the big blind and Dario Sammartino bet 5,000 from early position, which the Brit called. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn saw both players check and the {8-Hearts} river then completed the board.

Chidwick bet 40,000 and Sammartino used two time bank chips before tossing in the chips for a call. Chidwick rolled over {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for two pair and Sammartino had 65,000 left after the hand, before losing the remaining stack soon after to Max Silver. Oliver Weis was also eliminated just prior to that, but both players have until the start of level nine to re-enter the competition.
