Phua Busts Sammartino in Big Pot

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

Paul Phua raised to 7,000 and Timofey Kuznetsov three-bet to 20,000 from two seats over. The action reached Dario Sammartino and he four-bet to 53,000 in the big blind. Phua gave it some consideration and called, Kuznetsov quickly got out of the way.

On the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop, Sammartino continued for 35,000 and Phua made it 90,000 to go, which Sammartino called. The Italian then checked the {4-Spades} turn with around 130,000 behind and Phua moved all in. After talking through the hand for a minute, Sammartino sighed and called only to find himself drawing dead.

Dario Sammartino: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Paul Phua: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The {4-Hearts} river even gave Phua a full house and Sammartino walked over to Mustapha Kanit to explain what happened.
