Saft Turns Trips to Send Stamate Packing
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With roughly 18,000 already in the middle, the flop read 8♣6♥2♦. Sorin Stamate tossed a bet of 5,000 across the line. Jimmy Saft was the only opponent in the hand and he made the call.
When the 6♣ fell on the turn, Stamate continued for 12,000 and Saft wasted little time matching the bet.
The 4♦ completed the board. This time Stamate took about 30 seconds before announcing a bet of 15,000, leaving just 6,800 behind. Saft paused for a moment before announcing all in. Stamate pushed his remaining chips across the line, only to see the 10♦6♦ giving Saft trips. Stamate's J♥J♦ was turned face-up as he exited the table.
