The Rich Get Richer

This just in: Andrew Pantling is on a roll.

We join the action at his table with him once again involved in a sizable pot. On the river, there is 35,000 in the center of the table, and the board reads {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. Action is checked to Pantling, and he puts out a bet of 17,000. His opponent goes into the tank for several minutes, counting and re-counting his stack, looking frustrated.

Finally, he says, "I call." Pantling tables {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs} for the straight. His opponent holds his cards while he studies the board. After several seconds, he slams both cards down onto the felt and says, "Nice hand."

Pantling rakes in another nice pot, and he has moved up to 315,000. He now holds more than 10% of the total chips in play.
