Birgaoanu's Flush Seals the Pot Against Sammartino
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With around 6,000 in the pot and the board showing 9?7?7?, both Andrei Birgaoanu and Andzej Bilat checked, allowing Dario Sammartino to take the lead with a bet of 2,000. Both players called, and the action moved to the Q? turn, where everyone opted to check again.
When the 2? hit the river, Birgaoanu seized the moment, betting 11,000. Bilat quickly folded, but after some thought, Sammartino decided to call. Birgaoanu revealed J?10? for a flush, which was enough to win the pot, prompting Sammartino to muck his cards in defeat.
