Luca Pagano is loving life right now. He just took care of Balazs Botond to approach a million chips.
The Team PokerStars Pro raised to 27,000 from the cut-off before Botond three-bet to 64,000 from the small blind. Pagano paused before he set his opponent in for the 190,000 or so he had back. Botond made a quick call to set up a showdown.
