Sammartino Cracks Aces to Double
Level 5
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Dario Sammartino opened to 1,400 from the cutoff and called when Takahiro Tsugu three-bet to 5,600 from the small blind.
The Q?10?9? flop checked through to the 10? turn and Tsugu fired for 3,500. Sammartino made it 10,500 and was called.
Tsugu checked on the 2? river, and after some thought, Sammartino moved all in for 21,300. Tsugu wasn't thrilled about the spot but called as the slightly bigger stack.
Sammartino had 10?7? for trip tens and the winner while Tsugu had A?A?, which then went into the muck.
