Sammartino Gets Put in Tough Decision
Level 3
: 200/400, 400 ante
Steven Merrifield raised to 1,000 on the button and both the small blind and Dario Sammartino came along.
On the 
flop, the action checked to Merrifield who put in a bet of 1,000. The small blind folded and Sammartino check-raised to 3,000. Merrifield didn't take much time before making the call.
The 
landed on the turn and Sammartino check-called the 5,500 bet from Merrifield.
When the 
completed the board on the river Sammartino checked once again and Merrifield didn't slow down, firing in a bet of 22,000. Sammartino looked perplexed and after a little over three minutes of staring Merrifield down he decided to throw his cards into the muck pile.
