Alexander Catches Sammartino
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 2,500 ante
Dario Sammartino opened for 25,000 and James Alexander called on the button. Ray Dehkharghani made it three from the big blind and took a card. Sammartino did likewise and Alexander checked. Dehkharghani checked and Sammartino slid in 85,000. Alexander stared at him and the Italian stared right back. They exchanged a few words we couldn't quite hear and then Alexander slid in a call. Dehkharghani mucked.
Sammartino must have indicated Alexander had the winner because he didn't turn his cards over and mucked them when Alexander tabled
