Panka Brings Heat with Suited Connectors
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dominik Panka showed he didn’t need a premium hand to get action.
Panka raised to 2,200 in early position. The action folded around to a player in the big blind, who flatted.
The flop saw Q♠3♠4♦, which the big blind checked. Panka bet 2,000, which the big blind called.
The dealer placed the 5♥ on the turn, which the big blind checked. Panka then muscled up for a 10,000 bet, which grabbed his opponent’s attention. The player then took a bit to act, looking at the board before cupping his hands in front of his face. He was observed blowing into his hands, and then after almost a full minute, he called.
The 7♥ appeared on the river and both players checked. The player in the big blind showed J♠3♦, while Panka tabled 8♠7♠ for the win.
