Pansier Makes Steinbrenner Fold Aces
Level 25
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Nino Pansier limped the button with K♣Q♥3♦2♥ and Justin Steinbrenner raised to 750,000 out of the big blind holding A♠A♥10♠2♣. Pansier called.
Steinbrenner started with a check on the 6♣J♦9♥ flop, prompting Pansier to fire for 600,000. Steinbrenner elected to call.
A board-pairing 9♠ on the turn got a second check from Steinbrenner, and a second bet from Pansier this time for 2,000,000. Steinbrenner quickly folded his aces.
