Dario Sammartino: XxXx/5♠K♥3♥8♠/Xx
Joseph Villella was recently moved to Dylan Weisman's and Dario Sammartino's table after spending time with Martin Kabrhel.
"I told him you were f**king with the wrong guy. I can put in a call to New York," Villella said.
Meanwhile, Weisman and Sammartino went heads-up to fourth street where Weisman bet. Sammartino called.
Weisman continued betting on each street down to seventh, and Sammartino called. Weisman bet again on seventh, and Sammartino called.
