Nível 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Two familiar faces from abroad tangled in a hand, as Toby Lewis and Dario Sammartino met in the European special.

Lewis raised to 1,000 from first position, and Sammartino came along from the small blind.

Sammartino check-called another 1,000 when the flopped, and Lewis checked back on the turn. Sammartino led out 3,800 after the hit the river. That wouldn't work for him, though, as Lewis seemed to have no trouble calling.

Sammartino mumbled something, likely indicating he was bluffing. He threw his hand into muck, and Lewis then slid his cards face-down towards the dealer before raking in the pot.
