On the very next hand...

We join the pot as the dealer is putting the turn card down on a board of {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {K-Spades}. Pantling was first to act, and he checked it over. There was only about 50,000 in the pot, but Laak went ahead and made a big overbet of 180,000. Not to be outdone, Pantling shoved it in there, and Laak made the call to put himself at risk for his entire stack.

Showdown
Pantling: {6-Spades} {8-Clubs}
Laak: {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

It was the leading two pair for Laak, but Pantling was drawing very live with a chance to potentially win the bracelet. Ah, but no! The river was a very safe {10-Hearts}, though, and that was just what Laak needed. In the biggest pot of the tournament, Laak has doubled up to finally take a commanding chip lead. He's right at 1.4 million now, while Pantling has just 430,000 left.
