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 Q♥4♥3♠10♥8♣ board.
“Yes!” screamed Filippelli before slamming on the table the Q♦8♦ for what he perceived to be the winning hand with two pair.
Filippelli was correct with Newton tabling the 10♦9♠ and Saddemi tabling the K♠9♥ 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
