Sammartino Gets the Clock and the Pot
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Dario Sammartino was sitting in the small blind and deciding whether to call for 4,000. He took enough time to make his decision that someone at the table called the clock on him. Eventually he decided to call and four players would see the flop for 4,000 each.
The action slowed down dramatically once the flop came. The board read 
and the four players checked. The turn was the 
and Sammartino checked before Iaron Lightbourne bet 2,200. One player folded, Paul Volpe and Sammartino both called, leaving three players to see the river.
The river was the 
and all three players checked. Sammartino was much faster at showing his 
than he was making the call preflop, but Lightbourne and Volpe both mucked and Sammartino took down the pot.
