Caught with His Pantaleo Down
Kristoffer Thorsson opened for 42,000 from the cutoff and Giuseppe Pantaleo reraised to 92,000 from the button. The small blind folded, but in the big blind Filippo Marcolini announced all in for 192,000. Thorsson quickly passed, but Pantaleo, presumably feeling that he'd priced himself in, made the call.
Marcolini:
Pantaleo: a rather esoteric
Flop:
Your blogger had already circled the nines as the winning hand on her notepad.
Turn:
The rail collectively sucked in their breath...
River:
Wow. Pantaleo runner-runnered a straight to put him up to 1.45 million. The luckless Marcolini meanwhile headed for the payout desk.
