Sammartino Defeats Stanford

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

Dario Sammartino is in the quarterfinals after eliminating William Stanford.

After Stanford limped, Sammartino ripped and Stanford put his entire stack of 286,000 into the middle and showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, which dominated the Italian's {k-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Sammartino, however, would smash the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop and hold on to win as the board ran out a {6-Clubs} and a {9-Diamonds}.

Sammartino will face Chance Kornuth for a chance to play in Saturday's semifinals.

Alex Foxen was down to around 235,000 chips and it didn't take long for him and Dan Smith to get all of their chips in the middle.

Alex Foxen: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Dan Smith: {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The flop fell {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} which gave Smith a straight and Foxen was all but dead. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn confirmed the news as the {j-Diamonds} completed the board. Smith will now move on to face Jonathan Jaffe in the quarterfinals.

Vogelsang Extending Lead

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Christoph Vogelsang
Christoph Vogelsang

With 80,000 in the pot on a {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop, Christoph Vogelsang check-raised a bet of 20,000 from Koray Aldemir up to 70,000. Aldemir called.

Vogelsang led for 125,000 on the {q-Spades} turn and Aldemir continued.

The {2-Spades} completed the board, and after more deliberation, Vogelsang moved in enough chips to cover his opponent and put his hoodie-covered head down onto the table. Aldemir quickly folded, although it took Vogelsang another fifteen seconds or so to look back up and realize he had won the pot, as he extended his lead.
