Panayiotou Pounds Thompson

Just before the break, we caught up with a big pot brewing on the turn. The board showed {3-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, and there were about 300,000 chips already in the pot. Both Eracles Panayiotou and Greg Thompson put in another 250,000 each after fourth street, and the river card was the {A-Diamonds}. Panayiotou fired 500,000 more at the pot, and Thompson would tank and fold.

Panayiotou showed his {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for the airball bluff as he raked in the big pot, moving up to 1.5 million now. Thompson is down to 660,000, and he was not a fan of the bluff. "God!" he said. "I'm snapping on any river but that."
