Calderone's Iso Shove Potentially Saves Pontos
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Following an early position raise, Eros Calderone called on the button and Panteleimon Pontos went all in from the big blind for 17,900. The original raiser flat called the shove and then Calderone made a large iso shove for over 100,000 chips. The original raiser folded his hand, meaning two players flipped their cards for the all in.
Panteleimon Pontos: A♣Q♣
Eros Calderone: A♦Q♠
"Thank you!", said Pontos, who was thrilled to see the other opponent fold.
The board ran out 4♥9♦9♣4♣A♥. Pontos made a flush draw on the turn but faded his outs on the river.
The two players chopped the pot at the expense of the original raiser, who said "It's not a good all in."
"Why?", said Calderone, who also expressed his happiness with the result.
