Tabacaru Lets Go of Big Slick
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ion Tabacaru raised from under gun and both blinds Ruslan Volkov and Dario Sammartino put in calls. The trio then checked through the flop of 5♦9♦10♦ before Volkov checked again on the 8♥ turn.
Sammartino then made the first postflop bet, of 190,000. Tabacaru called and Volkov mucked his hand. On the 5♣ river, Sammartino sized up to 775,000.
This sent Tabacaru in a deep tank that lasted several minutes. Eventually, he folded his A♥K♠ face-up and Sammartino nodded in understanding while raking in the chips.
