Korody Scoops Sammartino
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Limits: 400-1,400
Dario Sammartino raised to 1,200 from early position before Michael Korody three-bet to 4,200 from the cutoff. When it got back to Sammartino, he four-bet to 12,600 and Korody called.
Both players checked the 2♥4♦3♣ flop to see the 7♥ appear on the turn. Sammartino bet 15,000, and after a few moments, Korody jammed for 54,500. Sammartino went into the tank for over two minutes, shaking his head, staring Korody down. In the end, Sammartino made the call.
Michael Korody: A♥5♠4♠3♦ 
Dario Sammartino: A♦A♠6♣2♣
Korody had flopped a wheel and looked poised to earn the full double-up, if he could fade a five on the river. The river was the Q♦ prompting Korody to jump out of his chair and shout "Let's go baby!" as he scooped the pot with a wheel.
