A player in middle position opened for 4,400 and the folded around dutifully to Robert Panitch in the big blind. As anybody who has come to know "Uncle Krunk" during the last few years - as Panitch became a consistent tournament player capable of playing on the big stage against the game's best - he does not give up on anything easily.

So we weren't surprised Panitch announced a reraise while tossing out a 12,000 three-bet. His much younger opponent did not appear to be pleased after being played back at, but he flatted to take the {6-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop in position.

Position didn't matter for long though, as Panitch fired away with a 15,000 to force a quick fold. With the win Panitch neared the 350,000 mark one hour away from the dinner break.
