Under the gun, Andrew Pantling opened to 13,500, and he found calls in two places. Ilan Rouah (cutoff) and Chris Bjorin (small blind) came along to a three-handed 
flop. When Bjorin checked, Pantling continued out with a bet of 23,500. Rouah wanted to play for more, and he popped it up to 52,000 straight. Bjorin ducked out of the way, but Pantling made the call to see the turn.
It was the 
, and the action check-checked this time. that led them to the 
river, and Pantling tapped the table again. Rouah took his cue to fire one last bet of 72,500, about half his remaining stack. Pantling called, and Rouah was befallen by that hand-caught-in-the-cookie-jar look. He sheepishly tabled his 
miss, and Pantling's surprise 
was plenty good enough to win that big pot.
Look out for the million mark; Andrew Pantling is getting awfully close with 952,000 now. Rouah, on the other hand, is left with just about 75,500 with which to try and mount a comeback.
