"Can You Just Let Me Value Bet You One Time?"

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Dario Sammartino opened with a raise. He was called by both Jean-Robert Bellande and Shaun Deeb. Deeb then took one. Sammartino stood pat, and Bellande took two. Deeb led out with a bet of 10,500. Sammartino called, and Bellande quickly folded.

Deeb showed {9-}{8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}, but Sammartino showed {9-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}.

"Can you just let me value you bet you one time?" Deeb asked. Sammartino just laughed.

This spawned some conversation at the table about the game of 2-7 No-Limit Single Draw.

"In my opinion, this is the purest form of poker," Bellande said. "It has everything. It has bluffs, it has math."

"I totally agree," Sammartino said.
