Tsai Rivers Sammartino
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Kasparas Klezys opened to 160,000 from early position and was called Giuseppe Mazza-Boussemart and Eric Tsai from the cutoff and and small blind. Dario Sammartino defended his big blind.
On the 9♥7♣6♣ flop, Sammartino was ahead with his 9♣4♣ and led out for 180,000. Klezys and Mazza-Boussemart folded K♥J♦ and A♦4♦ respectively. Tsai called with his Q♥10♥.
The 6♥ turn kept Sammartino ahead while Tsai picked up a flush draw to go along with his gutshot straight draw. Tsai check-called for 325,000.
The Q♦ completed the board and gave Tsai a pair of queens for the checkmark. Tsai checked once more and Sammartino did the same for the former to scoop the pot.
