Sammartino Picks Off a Bluff
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Dario Sammartino opened to 1,000 from the cutoff before calling a three-bet to 2,600 from an opponent in the small blind.
The small blind continued for 1,200 on the A♣6♠7♠ flop and Sammartino made the call.
There was no slowing down for the small blind following the 5♠ turn as he bet again, this time making it 3,700. As before, Sammartino called.
The small blind fired one more barrel after the 5♣ river completed the board, sizing up to 7,700. Sammartino thought long and hard but ended up making the call, prompting his opponent to muck their holding.
