Gathy Triples Up; Sammartino Eliminated

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Giuseppe Dario Sammartino
Giuseppe Dario Sammartino

Vladas Tamasauskas raised to 700 from under the gun and was called by Dario Sammartino in the hijack and Nick Marchington on the button before Michael Gathy moved all in for 14,300 from the big blind.

Tamasauskas raised over the top to around 40,000 in which Sammartino called off for his tournament life and Marchington folded.

Michael Gathy: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Dario Sammartino: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Vladas Tamasauskas: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Both Tamasauskas and Sammartino had monsters and Gathy was drawing thin but the flop came {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} to put Gathy in front. The turn came the {5-Spades} and the river the {4-Spades} which secured the triple up for Gathy and the elimination of Sammartino.
