The turn was the 5♣ and the early-position player bet another 80,000. Pacini again called and the 7♠ fell on the river, where Pacini’s opponent moved all in.
Pacini had 150,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes before calling off his last chips. His opponent showed A♣6♣ for a bluff and Pacini turned over 10♥10♠ to double up in a massive pot.
