Sammartino Takes One at Showdown
Level 7
: Blinds 0/0, 800 ante
Jesse Lonis opened to 7,500 from the hijack and both a player under the gun and Dario Sammartino in middle position made the call.
The flop fanned out A?9?7? and action checked to Lonis who continued for 20,000, which only Sammartino came along. The 8? hit the turn and both players checked their options to the J? river, where again it went check-check.
Sammartino announced two pair and tabled 9?8?. Lonis double checked his cards before tossing them into the muck and the pot was sent to Sammartino.
