Pankov Pulls In a Monster

Level 14 : 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

Vitaliy "witalii" Pankov opened to 16,100 from the cutoff and directly on his left was Ariel "ArielBahia" Celestino who made it 25,200 to go. Geraldo "geraldocesar" Neto called in the small blind and Pankov then four-bet to 111,300. Celestino called, Neto threw in the towel and a {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop hit the board.

Pankov tapped to Celestino, he bet 65,450 and an instant check-shove came from Pankov for more than enough to cover Celestino who hit the tank. In the end, Celestino called for his 517,339 stack and the two turned over their hands.

Ariel "ArielBahia" Celestino: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Vitaliy "witalii" Pankov: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Pankov was in the lead but Celestino had a monster draw. A {7-Hearts} turn left Celestino with one last chance for romance but the river gave him no love as a {5-Spades} completed the board. Celestino took an exit and Pankov took the lead.
