Sammartino Takes One Down on the River
Level 28
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Justas Vaiciulionis raised from the cutoff to 205,000. Valentin Messina called on the button. From the big blind, Dario Sammartino called as well.
On the 
flop, Sammartino checked to Vaiciulionis. Vaiciulionis bet 275,000. Messina folded but Sammartino called.
The turn was the 
and both players checked to see the 
on the river. Sammartino led out with a bet of 975,000, leaving himself with just 400,000 behind.
"I might have an ace," Vaiciulionis said after a few minutes of thought.
"You have an ace?" Sammartino asked. "I don't have an ace." Eventually, Vaiciulionis decided to fold and that allowed Sammartino to take down the pot.
