Prasetyo checked as did Zamani. Pantaleo bet 44,000. Prasetyo quickly got out of the way sending the action to Zamani. He called and they were heads up to the turn.

Zamani checked. Pantaleo bet 108,000. Zamani called and it was off to the river.

Th9h7hAdJh

Zamani checked a third time. Pantaleo sat still, taking his time before reaching into his stack and betting 271,000. Zamani’s stack totaled 287,000 and he was noticeably uncomfortable with the bet. He agonized over the decision for a few minutes before calling. Pantaleo flipped over KhQh for a straight flush and Zamani, disgusted, showed Ah3c for an ace-high flush. He was left with 16,000 chips and busted 16th the very next hand.

Giuseppe Pantaleo – 1,377,000 (86 bb)
