One Bet Good for Sammartino

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dario Sammartino opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and was called by the big blind.

Both players checked through the 9♥J♦4♦ flop to the 7♠ turn at which point the big blind checked for a second time.

Sammartino fired a delayed continuation of 12,000 which was met by a swift fold from his opponent to keep Italy's all time money leader chipping up as he seeks to improve upon his runner-up finish in the 2019 Main Event.

Boyko Doubles Through Antonius

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player in early position opened to 6,000 and Patrik Antonius three-bet to 17,000. Yuriy Boyko then moved all in from the small blind for 64,500, forcing a fold from the original raiser.

"I don't know how I can lay this down," Antonius quietly said as he contemplated his decision. He did not think for long before making the call to put Boyko at risk.

Yuriy Boyko: A♦K♣
Patrik Antonius: A♥J♦

Boyko was in good shape to double with a bigger ace and remained in the lead on the K♠6♠6♦ flop and 6♥ turn.

"Six!" one of Boyko's tablemates called for just before the river, which got a few laughs from around the table.

The river was the 7♠ and Boyko secured a full double up while making a small dent in Antonius' stack.

Meanwhile at another table, Michael Gathy has been eliminated from the tournament.

Lee Bluffs Big

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a completed board of 2♠4♦7♣J♠8♣, Brandon Lee had bet 58,000 into a pot of 125,000 from the big blind. His opponent was in the cutoff and thought for several minutes.

Eventually, he made the call. Lee showed 3♠3♣ for a failed bluff, while his opponent made a hero call with 10♠10♣ for a pair of tens. Lee forfeited a bunch of his stack, but is still left with more than 50 big blinds.

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Heads-up on a 2♠Q♦7♥ flop, Rui Sousa bet 5,000 from the button and an opponent in the big blind called.

The turn came the A♥ and action checked to Sousa again, who fired out 27,000 this time. His opponent again called to the 4♣ river, where Sousa bet another 56,000.

His opponent tanked for a minute before calling and Sousa showed A♠2♣ for two pair to win the pot.
