Pantaleo Snatches the Lead

Oh wow, just moments after acquiring a nice hefty stack, largely courtesy of neighbour Giuseppe Pantaleo, Kristoffer Thorsson has been reduced almost to the felt by the same.

It was blind on blind, with Thorsson in the small blind and Pantaleo in the big. There was a very short raising war, and they got the chips in preflop.

Thorsson: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Pantaleo: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Pantaleo couldn't watch - he went over to the rail and stood there, facing out.

Board: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Konstantin Puchkov for a laugh, cried, "Oooh!" on the turn, then giggled when Pantaleo turned around with alarm. But the real reaction from Pantaleo came on the river - "YEAH MAN!!!" he cried. At 1.7 million he is our new chip leader. The unhappy Thorsson was left with just 280,000.
