Chiu Punts Pantling

We caught up with the action on the turn of a {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds} board where Andrew Pantling bet 7,100 in the cutoff. David Chiu raised to 18,100 on the button and was met with an all in from Pantling for around 56,000. Chiu instantly called as the players turned up their hands.

Chiu: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Pantling: {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Pantling had the second-nut straight but Chiu held the nuts to go along with his flush draw. Pantling would need any of the three remaining tens in the pot to survive and chop the pot. The river came the {Q-Clubs} which was not what Pantling needed and he was eliminated while Chiu neared the top of the leaderboard.
