Big Value For Pantling

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Andrew Pantling raised from the button to 130,000 with {J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Steve O'Dwyer three-bet from the small blind to 390,000 with {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden tanked for a while from the big blind with {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} but eventually he folded.

Pantling called right away and the flop brought {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} and both players checked. On the turn the {5-Spades} hit and the action was checked again. The river brought the {10-Clubs} and O'Dwyer checked again. Pantling now put together a bet worth 1,000,000 and O'Dwyer tanked for several minutes before making the call. Pantling showed his full house and took down the pot.
