Saft Turns Trips to Send Stamate Packing
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With roughly 18,000 already in the middle, the flop read 8?6?2?. Sorin Stamate tossed a bet of 5,000 across the line. Jimmy Saft was the only opponent in the hand and he made the call.
When the 6? fell on the turn, Stamate continued for 12,000 and Saft wasted little time matching the bet.
The 4? completed the board. This time Stamate took about 30 seconds before announcing a bet of 15,000, leaving just 6,800 behind. Saft paused for a moment before announcing all in. Stamate pushed his remaining chips across the line, only to see the 10?6? giving Saft trips. Stamate's J?J? was turned face-up as he exited the table.
