Pots for Safai and Pantling

Level 12 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Anatoly Gurtovoy, Dan Shak and Bob Safai all stuck in 325,000 apiece pre-flop and were greeted with a {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop. It wasn't to their liking and everyone checked. On the {7-Spades} turn Safai led for 600,000 and Shak was the only caller. The {A-Spades} river was checked through and Safai's {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} was the winner. A visibly frustrated Shak mucked his cards and went off for a conflab with Scott Seiver (his coach). He returned to the table and said: "I know you're betting the river if you miss too."

Over on Table 9 Paul Phua raised it up and Andrew Pantling defended from the big blind. The {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{K-Spades}{10-Hearts} board was checked all the way to the river, at which point Pantling bet 575,000. Phua tank called and mucked when Pantling showed {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

"I've found a new hero," said James Bord applauding Pantling's thin value river bet. "Phua you've been replaced temporarily," he joked.

"You've no loyalty," joked Phua to Bord.
