Panitch Fills Up on River

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante
Robert Panitch
Robert Panitch

Catching the action with the board reading {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Robert "Uncle Krunk" Panitch was all in and had one player covered while a third player gave them action having Panitch covered by just a few chips.

Panitch: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Shorter Stack: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Third Player: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

With Panitch needing to fade a heart while improving to a bigger straight or full house to stay alive, the river brought the {Q-Spades} to ensure he improved, virtually tripling his stack to over 46,000 while eliminating one player and leaving the other crippled to just a few big blinds.

Linton Has To Show His Hand

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Philipp Gruissem raised to 300 from the cutoff, Pete Linton called from the button, and both blinds folded.

Gruissem then led for 600 on the {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop and Linton called. Both players checked the {6-Diamonds} turn before Gruissem fired a 1,275 bet on the {J-Diamonds} river. Linton called, then Gruissem checked his cards and mucked.

Linton attempted to muck but the dealer said "show me a winner," and Linton flipped over the {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a full house.

Timoshenko Chipping Up

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

A player near the PokerNews blogging desk stood up and started to pack his belongings.

Upon further review we saw a board of {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and Yevgeniy Timoshenko's {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} tabled as he cut down his all-in chip stack. With Timoshenko having his opponent covered, he scooped the pot and sent that player to the rail.
