Sammartino Picks Off Nazarian in a Massive Pot
Karen Nazarian raised to 21,000 in early position before Dario Sammartino three-bet to 90,000 in the big blind.
Nazarian called and they went heads-up to the Q?J?7? flop. Sammartino continued for 70,000 and Nazarian put in a raise to 209,000.
Sammartino called to the 6? turn, where both players slowed down and checked. Sammartino also checked the A? river.
Nazarian spent a few moments shuffling some green 25,000 chips in his right hand before sliding them in the middle, a bet totaling 300,000.
Sammartino let out a loud sigh as he went deep into the tank. "Do you have ace-queen," he asked Nazarian, who remained silent starting straight ahead. Sammartino burned through three time banks before putting in the chips to call.
Nazarian shook his head and revealed J?9? for just a pair of jacks. Sammartino slammed down A?K? for a rivered pair of aces as he took down the massive pot.
