Big Dog Hounds Sammartino
Action began preflop with Barry "Big Dog" Lang on the button. He raised to 8,000 and was called by Dario Sammartino from the big blind.
Both players checked on the 
flop to the 
on the turn. On the turn, Sammartino led with a bet of 7,000. Lang put his hands behind his head, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He sat in that position for nearly a minute before finally leaning forward and grabbing raising chips. He raised to 14,000 and without any theatrics, Sammartino called.
The river was the 
and Sammartino led out with a bet of 26,000. Almost instantly, Lang moved all in. This sent Sammartino into the tank. Frustratedly he turned over his 
and mucked it.
This sent Lang into a frenzied laughter.
"You fold that?" He chuckled.
"You had a six," Sammartino said, confident in his read.
"I bluffed you boy! You know I bluffed you. I bluffed you like the big dog I am."
"Show it," Sammartino responded.
Lang showed the 
and that was it. "You know I'm a player."
With that, Lang picked up the lead in the heads-up match.
