Nível 36 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Hand #92: Zhen Cai completed the blind and Dario Sammartino checked. Cai check-called 1 million on the {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop and then checked the {5-Spades} turn.

Hand #100: Robert Heidorn raised to 1,800,000 from the cutoff and Timothy Su called from the big blind.

They checked to the river of a {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Spades} board where Su bet enough to cover Heidorn's remaining stack of 16,400,000. Heidorn folded.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, both checked, the river was the {6-Hearts} and Su bet 16,000,000. Ensan raised to 45,000,000 after about one minute, sending Su into the tank for a good five minutes before he called.

Ensan tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for tens full of sevens, Su mucked and Ensan won the gigantic pot.

Milos Skrbic is at Home in the Main Event with One Goal

Nível 36 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Milos Skrbic
Milos Skrbic

Milos Skrbic recently broke out in the poker tournament scene, but he's far from a newcomer to the game. After playing high-stakes cash for five years, the 31-year-old poker pro from Serbia who now resides in San Diego got interested in trying his hand in the tournament variant, bursting onto the scene in 2018 racking up $1,450,295 in cashes, according to Hendon Mob.

Skrbic is in good company of illustrious players who studied for another career before switching their major to poker. Before he took up the game 10 years ago, Skrbic studied to be a veterinarian back in his home country of Serbia. After one year, he shifted gears and decided to study computer science in the U.S. but eventually went all in with poker.

His journey in the Main Event so far has been a smooth one as he has padded his stack, staying near the top of the counts in the days leading up to the final table. A quick look through the live reporting blog paints a story of Skrbic winning pot after pot, many with no showdown — a quiet and calculated assassin climbing the ranks.

"I've definitely had some good hands. I made some great value bets on rivers and I also made some good calls, so I'm playing pretty good. Everything is going very smooth."

"I'm very relaxed. I think that's my big advantage."

Skrbic has been in some big-equity tournament spots that have prepared him well for the moment he's found himself in, approaching the final table of poker's crown jewel. Last year, he finished 958th in the WSOP Main Event. Then, he took sixth place in the $10k Bellagio Cup, and followed that up with a fifth-place finish in the €10k WSOP Europe Rozvadov Main Event won by Jack Sinclair.

"Well I was supposed to win that tournament, I ran pretty bad. I had like 45 percent of the chips five-handed and ran pretty bad...In the spot where I was, I expect to win a lot of times."

While he got good experience in the Main Events, he feels he got even more out of the experience of finishing runner-up to Dylan Linde in the $10,000 WPT Five Diamond Poker Classic in late 2018 that earned him seven figures.

"That was my second big one, so I just got used to all these things, so I don't feel any pressure or anything [in this one]. I'm very relaxed. I think that's my big advantage. And I also feel like home in Vegas and I have a lot of friends here and I'm just completely natural so that's helping me a lot."

How He Got Here

Key Hands

On Day 7, Skrbic has been putting the pressure on his opponents, chipping up throughout the day with few showdowns. All day it seems he's been winning pots preflop with three-bets and four-bets, or taking it down with bets or raises on the flop and turn. He's also won some critical pots making river calls with the best hand.

The one that really got him rolling though he says, was a hand he played with start-of-day chip leader Nick Marchington. Skrbic opened from the hijack with blinds at 150k/300k with a 300k big blind ante and called when Marchington put in the three-bet from the small blind.

On the {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, Marchington led for 1.8 million and Skrbic raised to 4.55 million. He got a call and the {10-Clubs} hit the turn. After a check from Marchington, Skrbic moved in for around 25 million which prompted a fold, putting Skrbic up over 39 million.

"I picked up some more outs on the turn and went all in when I showed the eight of hearts, so that was like huge - that was like a breaking point for today."

He also mentioned a significant hand on Day 4 where he overbet shoved two-times pot on the river for value and got called by worse, holding king-jack versus king-ten. "That was kind of the moment when my tournament went in a good direction."

What to Watch For

While others may be feeling the pressure of the huge money jumps and the lights and cameras, Skrbic is perfectly comfortable, a fact he'll be looking to continue using to his advantage with the most important poker days of his life ahead of him. With many friends here in town, Skrbic will have plenty of support on his rail, but he doesn't want them to go out of their way until he's down to the final three.

"I told everyone to come only for three-handed, so we have celebration."

Asked if he feels he can get some redemption for his close calls by winning this one, Skrbic was emphatic: "That's the only thing that interests me. Yeah so, I need to win. I'll be very disappointed if I don't. Five Diamond was my 30th birthday so I was sad that I didn't win but it wasn't the end of the world. Winning this one is like my only goal that I have; it's the tournament that every poker player wants to win above everything."

So what would it mean to Skrbic to win the Main?

"Everything."

Michael Niwinski

Main Feature Hand #95: Henry Lu raised to 1,800,000 from the button, Michael Niwsinski three-bet all in for 18,200,000 from the small blind and Lu tanked for a bit before he called, having Niwinski barely covered.

Niwinski: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}, vaulting Lu to a massive lead with sevens full of tens.

The {2-Hearts} turn officially locked up the hand for Lu, rendering the {6-Diamonds} river moot and ending Niwinski's 2019 Main Event in 12th place.

Dario Sammartino Fades the Flu, Sets Sights on the Final Table

Nível 36 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

Dario Sammartino is the most decorated, and arguably the most talented, remaining player in the WSOP Main Event. The native of Naples, Italy has an impressive resume that includes over eight million in live tournament earnings and dozens of cashes on the high-roller circuit. Now, as this year's WSOP Main Event final table approaches, his sights are set on the ten-million-dollar first prize and a gold bracelet.

Competing at the highest level can be exhausting. In 2018, as he began to play less poker, there was speculation on whether Sammartino, like Fedor Holz and Doug Polk, was "retiring" from the game.

"I'm not retired," he told PokerNews. "I just don't play poker full-time. Before it was my first priority but now it's not really important."

During the last year, Sammartino made an effort to spend more time with friends and family. He went skydiving in Australia. He started a new business called “Rent, Sell, Cars” in which he and a friend rent out their flashy Ferraris. Even as he's done an admirable job of branching out and achieving more balance, Sammartino hasn't entirely abandoned his poker goals.

"I still want to win a bracelet," he said.

Sammartino enjoyed oodles of success at this year's WSOP, cashing seven times and reaching two final tables: a third-place finish in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship and a ninth-place finish in the 50K Players Championship. He also faced some adversity during the early stages of the Main Event.

"I was so sick," he told PokerNews. "It was really bad for three or four days. I had to take a lot of medicine. It was really tough."

Despite a nagging illness, Sammartino got off to a good start on Day 1C, bagging 121,000 chips. He gained momentum over the next few days until a rough Day 5 left him short-stacked and 105th out of 106 remaining players. But the savvy Italian rounder didn't quit. He enjoyed a flurry of double-ups: against Corey Burbick, then against Antonio Esfandiari, and then against Sam Greenwood. By the end of Day 6, he had added nineteen million chips to his stack.

Key Hand

Sammartino leveraged a short stack at the beginning of Day 6 into a healthy stack by the end. A pivotal hand that made his run possible was against an especially tough opponent—Big One for One Drop champ Antonio Esfandiari.

The hand happened during Level 27, with the blinds at 50,000-100,000. Holding the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and about three million chips, Sammartino raised to 220,000 and Esfandiari three-bet in the hijack to 530,000. Sammartino called. After seeing the {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, Sammartino check-called a bet of 435,000 and binked a card that he was looking for—the {j-Diamonds}—on the turn.

Holding the nut straight, Sammartino check-called all in for 1,320,000 and saw that he had Esfandiari's {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} drawing to a chop. Suddenly Sammartino had over six million in chips and the necessary momentum to propel him to the brink of the final table. The hand also showed that Sammartino is capable of taking unpredictable lines with a wide range of hands.

"I change my play a lot," he said. "I change based on the table, the stack, the player. A lot of things help me decide how to play. I don't have one basic strategy, and that is good. I change all the time and play my opponents differently. I hope it makes it hard for people to know how to play against me."

What to Watch For

Given his stellar track record and a healthy stack, Sammartino is in excellent position to go the distance. The illness that plagued him at the beginning of the tournament is already a distant memory.

"This is completely different from other tournaments," he said of the Main Event. "It's the best tournament you can play."
