Sammartino Runs Into Aces

Level 4 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Dario Sammartino (in earlier event)

Dario Sammartino raised it up from middle position and Aleksandr Shevlyakov three-bet to 30,000 in the cutoff. Scott Ball four-bet to 62,500 out of the small blind and Sammartino stuck in a five-bet to 112,000. Shevlyakov folded and Ball moved all in. Sammartino thought for a moment before calling off his stack of 404,000.

Dario Sammartino: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Scott Ball: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

It was an uphill battle for Sammartino and the flop of {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} provided no help. The {10-Spades} on the turn meant Sammartino was drawing dead to the {5-Hearts} on the river.
