Pantazis Out-Kicks Ionita
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A pot of around 150,000 had brewed between Sebastian Ionita in the cutoff and Panagiotis Pantazis on the button with the flop reading 10♠Q♥J♥. Ionita checked and then called a bet of 45,000 from Pantazis.
The J♠ turn and 4♠ river didn't incentivize anybody to bet, then Ionita showed K♦Q♠ for a pair of queens at showdown. Pantazis had that beat as he flipped A♣Q♦ for a pair of queens with an ace-kicker, and that brought his stack well over the seven-figure mark.
