Breathing Room For Sammartino
Level 16
: Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Dario Sammartino raised in early position and was called by Igor Zektser in the big blind.
Both players checked after seeing the 5♦7♦K♠ flop, with Zektser checking again on the 10♣ turn.
Sammartino slid out a bet and let Zektser look at his remaining stack behind. Zektser took some time but opted to lay his hand down, as Sammartino raked in some much-needed chips.
At nearby tables, Noah Bronstein and Marco Johnson were the latest to be eliminated near the bubble.
