Hero Call Gets Pansier Above Starting Stack

Tomasz Kozub raised his button to 5,500. Nino Pansier defended his big blind, and check-called Kozub's contiunation-bet of 4,500 on the 3♥7♥6♥ flop,

The K♦ turn was quickly checked through to the J♦ river, which Pansier also checked. Kozub announced a bet of 16,000, sending Pansier into the tank.

Pansier played with a calling chip for the duration of his 30-second shot clock, tossing it in when his countdown neared zero.

Kozub showed down 10♣9♥9♦8♦ for a pair of nines, meaning the pot was shipped to Pansier, who had called with 6♣5♥5♦3♣ for bottom two pair.
