Phua Busts Sammartino in Big Pot
Level 6
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Paul Phua raised to 7,000 and Timofey Kuznetsov three-bet to 20,000 from two seats over. The action reached Dario Sammartino and he four-bet to 53,000 in the big blind. Phua gave it some consideration and called, Kuznetsov quickly got out of the way.
On the 
flop, Sammartino continued for 35,000 and Phua made it 90,000 to go, which Sammartino called. The Italian then checked the 
turn with around 130,000 behind and Phua moved all in. After talking through the hand for a minute, Sammartino sighed and called only to find himself drawing dead.
Dario Sammartino: 
Paul Phua: 
The 
river even gave Phua a full house and Sammartino walked over to Mustapha Kanit to explain what happened.
