Birgaoanu's Flush Seals the Pot Against Sammartino
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With around 6,000 in the pot and the board showing 9♠7♠7♣, both Andrei Birgaoanu and Andzej Bilat checked, allowing Dario Sammartino to take the lead with a bet of 2,000. Both players called, and the action moved to the Q♠ turn, where everyone opted to check again.
When the 2♥ hit the river, Birgaoanu seized the moment, betting 11,000. Bilat quickly folded, but after some thought, Sammartino decided to call. Birgaoanu revealed J♠10♠ for a flush, which was enough to win the pot, prompting Sammartino to muck his cards in defeat.
