Sammertino Folds in Agony
Level 8
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
With the pot having around 250,000 in the middle already, Koray Aldemir bet 175,000 from the hijack on a board reading 
. Dario Sammartino was sitting in the cutoff and made the call.
The river brought the 
, putting two four-card straights on the board. Aldemir fired another 480,000 and Sammartino leaned back in his seat with his hands on his head. He tanked for over two minutes and then looked across the dealer at Aldemir, trying to get a read on him. Aldemir turned away from the table, hiding his face from Sammartino who eventually folded.
"I folded a straight," Sammartino pointed out after the hand. "I never thought I would ever fold a straight."
