Gryko Wins a Big Pot Off Pantling
Level 28
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Hand #1: Richard Gryko raised to 220,000 in the cutoff and Michael Krasienko three-bet to 575,000 from one seat over on the button. Jack Sinclair four-bet to 1,300,000 and both opponents folded.
Hand #2: Wesley Pantling opened the action with a raise to 250,000 and Gryko three-bet to 670,000. Pantling called. The flop fell 
and both players checked. After the 
turn, Pantling checked and called a bet of 540,000 by Gryko before checking again the 
river.
Gryko made it 1,225,000 to go and Pantling eventually called. Gryko tabled 
and Pantling sighed, then flashed pocket kings. "It happened to me twice. Guess all I could hope for was pocket queens."
