Dario Sammartino, the 2019 WSOP Main Event runner-up, took down the $25,000 buy-in GGPoker Super High Roller for $508,448. The Italian poker pro dominated a field of 88 of the best poker players in the world.
Sammartino is quietly one of the top high rollers in the game, and arguably the best dressed poker pro in the world. We don't know what he was wearing during his play on Thursday as it took place online at GGPoker. But when he competes in live, televised events, he always shows up dressed to the nines, decked out in a slick suit and tie.
Maybe it's the clothes, or perhaps a mixture of dressing well and studying hard, but one way or another he continually performs at a high level. "Super Dario" has over $14.5 million in live tournament cashes, including the $6 million score for his 2019 Main Event 2nd place finish. Last summer during the WSOP Online Bracelet Series, also on GGPoker, he cashed in 12 events, and has crushed numerous other online poker events over the past couple of years.
No one can stop Dario Sammartino
On Thursday, he did it again, this time earning one of his biggest scores ever in a tough Super High Roller. The $25,000 buy-in event attracted some great players, including Sammartino, David Peters, Stephen Chidwick, Nick Petrangelo, Mikita Badziakouski, and others. Basically, it was a who's who of modern poker stars.
