Hrabec Gets on His Bike
Level 16
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Dario Sammartino opened to 50,000 from early position and was called by both of the blinds. The flop came A♥9♣4♦ and the action checked to Sammartino who continued with a bet of 85,000. The small blind folded but Roman Hrabec came along from the big blind.
The turn brought the 2♠ and Hrabec started with a check. Sammartino made a pot-sized bet of 336,000 and Hrabec check-raised all in for 521,000. Sammartino asked for a count and was not happy about it but still called.
Roman Hrabec: A♣5♣4♥3♦
Dario Sammartino: A♦K♦10♥9♥
Both players flopped two pair but Hrabec turned a straight to hold a big lead. The river was the 6♦ and Sammartino could not improve, having to pass over a double up.
