Sammartino Triples; Siegel Wins Side
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
A three-way showdown broke out preflop as Aaron Kupin from late position, David Siegel called off his stack for less with 60,000 in chips from the small blind, and Dario Sammartino for 33,000 from the big blind.
Dario Sammartino: K♥Q♦
David Siegel: A♦Q♣
Aaron Kupin: A♠5♦
Siegel had the best of it preflop, but Sammartino slingshotted into the lead when the flop came K♦K♠8♥.
The J♦ turn improved Siegel's chances to win the main pot with a gutshot straight draw, but the 7♥ river ended the matter.
Sammartino scooped the main pot to triple up, Siegel was awarded a side pot, while Kupin was left running nearly empty with just 8,000 in chips.
Kupin was eliminated shortly after to exit the tournament.
