Panetti Running Well

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Christophe Panetti raised to 6,000 on the button, then called when small blind Yury Bochkarev three-bet to 16,000.

The flop came A53 and Bochkarev led out for 7,000. Panetti called and the 6 fell on the turn.

Bochkarev then bet 11,000 and Panetti called again. The river was the 9 and Bochkarev slowed down and checked.

Panetti fired out 41,000 and Bochkarev quickly called. Panetti then turned over 87 for a running straight and Bochkarev mucked.

"You're a rock star," tablemate Graydon Kowal told him after the hand. Panetti folded the cutoff the next hand.

"The way you're running any two cards," Kowal added.
