Sammartino Calls Down Pavlov; Sammer Takes Out Hatefi
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ilia Pavlov raised to 13,000 in the cutoff and Dario Sammartino defended his big blind.
The flop came 8♦5♠K♦ and Pavlov continued for 8,000. Sammartino called, then faced another bet of 35,000 on the 2♣ turn.
Sammartino again called to the 8♠ river and checked over to Pavlov, who this time checked back and mucked when Sammartino turned over 7♣7♠ to win the pot.
At the same time at another table, Amir Hatefi moved all in for his last 100,000 on a J♠6♦8♣ flop from the hijack and Harald Sammer called on the button.
Amir Hatefi: Q♣J♣
Harald Sammer: K♦K♣
Hatefi had flopped top pair, but Sammer showed him a pair of kings and left Hatefi looking for help on the turn and river. None arrived as the dealer flipped over 4♥10♠, sending Hatefi to the rail.
