Ilani Holds For a Big Double Off Panyak
Stephen Kehoe bet 18,000 from the cutoff on a flop of J♣6♠4♣ and was called by Jordan Rapoport on the button and big blind Maxim Panyak. Ran Ilani then raised to 145,000 in middle position and only Kehoe and Panyak called.
The turn was the 8♠ and Ilani moved all in for 378,000. Kehoe quickly folded, but Panyak took a few minutes to confirm the amount before calling.
Ilani turned over A♥J♦ and told the dealer not to turn over the river card yet as he whipped out his phone to begin filming the action. Panyak had 10♣8♣ for a pair and flush draw, but he missed the Q♦ river and Ilani doubled up.
At the same table, James Pillon has built up a stack of 1,800,000. "You're giving me chip envy. Do you have me covered?" the slightly-shorter stacked tablemate Montgomery Cole joked with Pillon.
