Aggression Prevails
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
When action folded to Dario Sammartino in the small blind, he opted to limp in. Klemens Roiter then bumped it up to 42,000 from the big blind, and Sammartino called.
The two saw a flop of A♦2♣8♠ laid out, and Sammartino check-called a bet of 24,000.
When Sammartino checked for a second time on the 9♠ turn, Roiter amped up the pressure, placing a more significant bet of 165,000.
Sammartino looked suspicious, eyeing Roiter up and down. After a few minutes weighing up the situation, though, he opted to return his cards to the dealer.
