Sammartino's Rise Hits a Hurdle
Level 11
: Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Day 2 entrant Dario Sammartino has been building a stack and was involved in a three-way pot just minutes ago.
Ryan Johnson raised from early position and Jake Schwartz made the call in the hijack. Sammartino came along in the cutoff to see the 5?9?2? flop.
A round of bets went into the middle to the A? turn, where all three players checked. The dealer turned over the 3? river, producing another trio of checks from the players.
Johnson showed A?6?5?2? for the low, while Schwartz tabled A?10?9?2? for a superior two pair to claim the high. Sammartino could only muck, but his starting stack has grown over the last level.
