At another table, Thomas Basch went bust against the unimproved of Sam Panzica.
We didn't see the action, but a blind battle resulted in stacks getting in between Sam Panzica, who had in the small, and Justin Kindred, who had in the big. The board ran out , so while the turn gave Kindred momentary pause after he moved to exit after the flop, he sent his 100,000 or so to his right.
We found Vinicius Lima on the button and tanking on a flop of . Sam Panzica was all in from middle position for 84,000 on top of whatever the two had already put in, which looked to be substantial as the pot was in the neighborhood of 150,000. Lima tanked for a few minutes, cutting out calling chips, but ultimately decided to muck.
Panzica immediately tossed the into the middle and raked in the pot.
Brandon Cantu raised to 9,000 under the gun, and Zo Karim gave him action on the button. Karim called 9,500 on the flop. Both players checked the and , and Cantu moved to muck his hand, holding his cards over the felt. Karim asked him if he was going to show, but Cantu just indicated he couldn't win. Karim still waited, asking Cantu to show.
"I don't want to," Cantu said. "I can't win."
Finally, Karim turned over and Cantu dropped his cards. Karim asked for clarification of the rules and was told he had to show his hand regardless to win the pot.
"I want him to show first next time," Karim said.
"I'm declaring war on you, buddy," Cantu said. "Just so you know."
Zo Karim opened for a raise early and got action from small blind Brandon Cantu, who led out 8,500 on a flop. Karim called and the two saw a turn. Cantu checked this time and then called 16,500. Check-check on the river, and Cantu announced a six. Karim nodded in submission and mucked when was shown down.
"Well played," he said with a smile.
