"You're Too Good"; Nielsen Puts Pantazis to the Ultimate Test
Heads-up on a flop of 3♣2♦2♥, Panagiotis Pantazis bet 40,000 from the hijack and Martin Nielsen raised to 90,000 in the big blind. Pantazis called and the 8♣ fell on the turn.
Nielsen then bet 200,000 and Pantazis called. The river was the Q♥ and Nielsen moved all in.
Pantazis, who had been covering nearly his entire face with his hoodie, ripped it away as he went deep into the tank. He tossed all of his time banks into the middle and burned through several of them before calling for his last 400,000.
"Nice call," Nielsen said, showing 6♥4♥ for a missed straight. Pantazis turned over J♣J♦ to win the pot and double up.
"I don't like playing with you. You're too good," Pantazis told him.
"It's not working so well," Nielsen replied as the start-of-day chip leader fell to a short stack.
