"Luck Box" Sammartino Catches Good to Double Off Tang
Dario Sammartino raised to 3,500 under the gun and Matthew Schreiber called on the button. Danny Tang then shoved for 32,000 in the big blind, Sammartion put in his last 30,000, and Schreiber folded.
Tang stood pat while Sammartino took one. Tang showed 10x5x4x3x2x and Sammartino had 9x7x5x3x as he prepared to turn over his last card.
"Paint! Queen!" Tang shouted out, sweating the card with Sammartino. It wasn't a paint card but rather a three-sider.
"66 percent," Sammartino said.
"Seven of clubs!" Tang shouted, but Sammartino slammed down a 8x to make a 9-8-7 and earn the double up.
"Make sure you write that he's a luckbox," Tang said after the hand.
Daniel Negreanu had fired his third bullet and was waiting to take his seat, but first he went to open a bottle of wine. "Does anybody have a wine key?" Negreanu yelled out to the rest of the field.
Brian Breck just happened to be carrying one with him, and Negreanu successfully opened the bottle before taking his seat.
