The 
was the bring in and John Monnette completed his eight. Dario Sammartino made it two bets with a queen and Lyle Berman called. Monnette called and action continued three ways.
Sammartino bet on fourth and fifth street and both Berman and Monnette hung around. On sixth street, Berman was first to act with a pair of sevens showing and bet. Monnette and Sammartino called and all three players checked the river.
Sammartino tabled 
and then turned his hand over as Berman showed 
for tens up, which was good to take the pot as Monnette also had long-mucked by the time the dealer had announced the winning hand.
