Filippelli Celebrates a Triple

Level 25: 30,000/60,000 (60,000)
Entries: 35/1,460

Rosario Saddemi min-raised from the cutoff before Dario Filippelli called off his stack of 95,000 from the small blind after tanking for a minute. Terence Newton defended his big blind and both Newton and Saddemi checked the entire Q43108 board.

“Yes!” screamed Filippelli before slamming on the table the Q8 for what he perceived to be the winning hand with two pair.

Filippelli was correct with Newton tabling the 109 and Saddemi tabling the K9 to triple his stack just before the final break of Day 2.

Rosario Saddemi – 2,200,000
Terence Newton – 1,600,000
Dario Filippelli – 405,000

Jonathan Schuman – 600,000
