A player in middle position limped in and the player in Seat 9 made it 3,500 to go. Patrick Panado called from the button and both players in the blinds called. The original limper joined in on the fun and we were off to a flop five-handed.
The flop came 
and it was checked to Panado who bet 6,000. Only the player in the small blind called.
The turn was the 
and the player in the small blind checked and Panado looked at his cards and made the same bet of 6,000. His opponent almost instantly grabbed his remaining chips and moved them into the middle. The dealer pulled the 6,000 and told Panado it would be an additional 20,400 to call.
Panado looked again at his cards and rubbed his chin while counting out the chips to make the call. He tossed them into the middle and turned over 
. He was behind his opponent's 
but would move into the lead when the 
hit the river.
"F***!" muttered his opponent, pushing his chair back and scowling at Panado. "How you call that hand?"
Panado, just sat there, and whispered to the player next to him after his opponent left "he acts like he's never been rivered before." That pot gave Panado the biggest stack in the room at the moment with 160,000.
