Sammartino Gets There, Haxton Out
Isaac Haxton's tournament has come to a brutal end at the hands of Dario Sammartino. In a button against small blind situation, Haxton had four-bet to 9,500 after Sammartino had put in a three-bet.
Sammartino five-bet shoved around 45,000 effectively. Haxton double-checked his hole cards before making the call.
Dario Sammartino: 
Isaac Haxton: 
Sammartino's timing couldn't be much worse, although he picked up some outs after the 
flop.
The 
landed on the turn and Sammartino took the lead with two pair. Haxton just nodded when the jack appeared and nodded even more when the 
on the river improved the Italian to an improbable full house.
After counting the stacks, Haxton had slightly less than Sammartino and was eliminated. Sammartino couldn't hide a smile when stacking up Haxton's chips.
