Hands #81-85: Panka Makes Sick Laydown

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Valentin Messina - Dominik Panka - Jean Montury
Valentin Messina - Dominik Panka - Jean Montury

Hand #81: Valentin Messina opened to 455,000 from the small blind with {10-Hearts} {4-Spades} and won the big blind of Dominik Panka and the antes.

Hand #82: Messina opened to 325,000 from the button with {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} and Jean Montury called in the big blind with {A-Spades} {8-Diamonds} to see a flop of {5-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}. Montury check-called a continuation bet of 380,000 and the two Frenchmen saw the {3-Hearts} appear on the turn.

Both players checked and the {J-Spades} completed the board on the river. Montury now bet 475,000 and Messina double-checked his cards, folded the hands and stared at the board. Ultimately, Messina folded the best hand and was shown the bluff.

Hand #83: Montury limped for 160,000 from the small blind with {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds} and Messina checked his option in the big blind with {9-Hearts} {7-Spades}. The {3-Spades} {J-Spades} {4-Spades} flop provided a flush draw for both players and Messina's bet of 200,000 shut down all further action.

The stats then showed the highest pre flop (74%) and post flop (90%) aggression for Messina out of all three players.

Hand #84: Messina stole Panka's big blind with a raise from the small blind, though he also had a premium hand in {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}.

Hand #85: Messina opened to 325,000 from the button and Panka finally found a hand to play with, looking at {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} in the small blind. The PokerStars sponsored player three-bet to 850,000 and Montury woke up with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} one seat over in the big blind. Montury four-bet to 2.085 million and that quickly got Messina out of the way.

Panka started the hand with around 4.7 million in chips and did get away from it.
