Pan Flips Best
Level 6
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ryuta Nakai opened to 12,000 in middle position and found himself facing a three-bet to 48,000 from Qinghai Pan in the small blind. Nakai responded with a four-bet jam, having Pan's stack of 162,500 covered. Pan took a moment before flicking in a chip to call.
Qinghai Pan: A♥K♥
Ryuta Nakai: Q♠Q♣
The deck favoured Pan on this occasion, as the 9♣A♦8♥ flop saw him harness the lead.
There was no reversal in fortunes for Nakai, as the 2♠ turn and 4♣ river completed the board.
