Panetti Puts The Gas On

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Leon Sturm had three bet Christophe Panetti to 7,100 before Panetti pushed it up to 20,000. After a quick think, Sturm folded.

The very next hand, a player in late position raised and Panetti called in the big blind. Heads up, they saw the A♠Q♠10♣ spread. Panetti started with a check and his opponent threw out two yellow chips, wagering 2,000.

Panetti responded with a raise to 6,500 and his opponent reraised to 16,000 which Panetti called. Finally, they saw the turned J♠. Panetti checked and called when his opponent bet 12,500.

The river was the 7♦ and this time Panetti took the initiative, declaring himself all in and his opponent threw his hand in the muck. Panetti chipped up significantly over a matter of just two hands, neither of which went to showdown.
