Giuseppe Pantaleo Leaves Sadan Turker Short-Stacked

Sadan Turker raised to 80,000 in the cutoff, and Giuseppe Pantaleo called in the small blind. The big blind folded, and they were heads-up.

On the flop of {7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, Pantaleo check-called Turker's bet of 95,000. The turn was the {J-Spades}, and both players checked. On the {2-Spades} river, Pantaleo checked, Turker bet 160,000, and after a long hesitation, Pantaleo check-raised to 645,000. Turker went into the tank, and after around three minutes, he called.

Pantaleo showed him the bad news, as he had {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for the runner-runner nut flush.

Turker mucked and told Pantaleo, "You're killing me, man. I had a ten! I had ace-ten. What a sick river." He then walked away from the table briefly and returned to add, "Why didn't I just check the river?"

Turker was left with just three big blinds, and their discussion about the hand continued for the next several minutes as play went on.
