Pansier Takes Chip Lead Thanks to the Nuts
Level 25
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Nino Pansier raised the button to 750,000 and Justin Steinbrenner defended from the big blind.
Steinbrenner check-called Pansier's continuation-bet of 875,000 on the 9♦6♥5♠ flop.
A 2♥ rolled off on the turn, causing Steinbrenner to check. Pansier fired a pot-sized bet of 3,500,000, and Steinbrenner burned through a few time banks before calling to see a river.
A final check came from Steinbrenner on the 7♥ river, and Pansier bet the pot for 10,500,000.
Steinbrenner quickly called and was shown the nuts by Pansier with A♥8♣6♠3♥. Steinbrenner mucked K♥Q♠J♥9♥ for the second nuts, and Pansier took the chip lead.
