Sammartino Shoves The River
Dario Sammartino and Nick Maimone played another interesting pot on the bubble.
Sammartino raised preflop and Maimone called. The flop was 
and Sammartino bet 26,000. Maimone called.
Both players checked the 
on the turn. On the river things got a little more interesting.
The river was the 
and after a few moments Sammartino shove all in for over 1 million chips into the pot of about 90,000. At one of the other tables Jean-Pascal Savard was waiting to see if he would triple up, because the action was paused waiting for Sammartino and Maimone's hand to finish.
Maimone looked amazed at the Sammartino shove. He took the full allotment of time before Tyler Patterson called the clock and with about 30 seconds left he folded.
At that, he stood up and said, "I will pay you one hundred dollars to see your hand."
Sammartino responded very quickly, "two hundred."
Maimone obliged and pulled out two one hundred dollar bills and gave them to Sammartino. Sammartino then turned over 
for complete air and the crowd that had surrounded the table laughed.
