Sanoubane Takes One on the River
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Eddy Konarske raised to 7,000 under the gun and action folded around to Rocco Palumbo, who called on the button. Bobby Sanoubane also called, defending his big blind to take three-handed action to the flop 
. Action checked to Palumbo and he bet 6,000, with Sanoubane calling and Konarske foldin.
Action was then heads up to the turn 
, where both players checked and the river fell 
. Sanoubane put out a bet of 20,000, one-third of his stack and around one-third of Palumbo's. Palumbo went into the tank for about a minute and then let his hand go, earning Sanoubane the pot.
