Pantaleo Survives the Pay Jump
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Giuseppe Pantaleo raised to around 120,000 in the hijack and Byung Shin just called on the button. The blinds folded Shin went to turn over his cards, not realizing that Pantaleo still had a single chip behind.
The flop came Q♦4♥3♠ and Shin tossed in a min-bet of 12,000. Pantaleo used one of his time banks as the clock ticked down to 55 players remaining and Pantaleo finally flicked in his last chip.
Giuseppe Pantaleo: J♠J♦
Byung Shin: A♣K♠
Pantaleo found himself in the lead and the Q♣ on the turn changed none of that. The 8♦ completed the board and Pantaleo survived the pay jump and also doubled up.
