Sammartino Shows the Nuts
Level 8
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Luis Faria and Dario Sammartino were trying to conquer a 20,000 pot. The completed board read Q♠10♣6♦7♥9♣ and Faria checked to Sammartino.
Sammartino then sent 18,000 chips to the middle, which puzzled Faria. After some time elapsed, he came up with the call, and immediately got the bad news that Sammartino was holding the nut straight with his K♣J♥.
A swingy day for Sammartino so far, but he is now sitting comfortable on twice starting stack.
