Gaehl Leaves Pannucci on Fumes
Level 6
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
This hand was picked up on a complete board of Q♦8♣10♦3♣7♦ with approximately 35,000 in the middle.
John Pannucci checked his option from the small blind before Sebastian Gaehl chose to bet 35,000 on the river.
Pannucci responded with a check-raise to 142,000 that sent Gaehl into the tank.
Gaehl played two time banks before he eventually put in the call.
Gaehl made the correct decision because Pannucci flipped over A♦2♠ for ace high. Gaehl showed Q♠4♠ for a pair of queens to claim the pot that escalated quickly on the river.
