Pan Has Nine Lives, or Maybe Eleven

Level 16
Qinghai Pan
Qinghai Pan

Matt Grapenthien limped, Qinghai Pan completed, Nicolas Milgrom raised, Grapenthien called, Pan made it three bets, Milgrom four-bet, Grapenthien called, and Pan was all-in yet again.

Qinghai Pan: XxXx / Q10J10 / Xx All in
Matt Grapenthien: XxXx / 4574 / Xx
Nicolas Milgrom: XxXx / A5A9 / Xx

On the side pot, Milgrom led on fourth and Grapenthien called.

Milgrom made open aces on fifth but he check-called a bet from Grapenthien. Milgrom would check-call two more bets on sixth and seventh.

Grapenthien revealed 322 in the hole for a straight six and six low, while Milgrom had A64 for trip aces as Grapenthien scooped a substantial side pot. However, Pan would then table QQ5 in the hole, and he made a full house to get half of the main pot to survive again.

Tablemate Chris Brewer joked that Pan has been at risk "at least eleven times" without being eliminated.
