Pantaleo Runs Into Better Two Pair

Level 3 : Blinds 40/80, 0 ante

Preflop action began under the gun, with "Pocketaces50" raising to 160. Edward "eddiegood598" Espino made the call from early position, as did Boris "imallinman" Vaynberg from the hijack. Giuseppe "Pantalette" Pantaleo, the cutoff, then reraised to 920. Only "Pocketaces50" called, and it was heads-up action to the flop.

Action was checked to Pantaleo on the KA8 flop, and his bet of 1,140 was called. The turn brought with it a 2, leading to Pantaleo's bet of 2,640 again being check-called.

The river came the Q, and action was checked to Pantaleo one last time. His bet of 6,560 was called, and he showed AQ for a rivered two pair. "Pocketaces50" turned over AK, though, and took down the large pot with his flopped top two pair.
