Dominik Panka doubles through Mike McDonald

Dominik Panka raised to 400,000 on the button with {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, Mike McDonald three-bet to 1.2 million with {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}, and Panka moved all in for 13.11 million.

McDonald asked for a count, tanked for a bit, then called.

“That is crazy,” Ike Haxton said on EPT Live.

The flop fell {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, changing nothing, and someone on the rail asked for a nine.

"For a sweat!" the person yelled.

The turn was not a nine, it was the {8-Spades}, and only six cards could eliminate Panka.

"King for a sweat?" McDonald asked, grinning.

The {2-Clubs} on the river was not one of them, and the Pole doubled, flipping the script. The two are now on a short break.
