Andrew Knowles

Level 17 : Blinds 1,700/3,400, 340 ante

Shaun "fortnite" Deeb opened to 6,800 from the cutoff and Dario "Sirio87" Sammartino came along in the big blind.

The flop fanned out A♦J♠10♣ and Sammartino check-called a bet of 6,000 from Deeb. On the 2♥ turn both players checked their options to the 10♠ river.

Sammartino elected to lead out for 22,000, and without much thought, Deeb folded.
