Pantaleo Folds On The RIver

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

EPT Barcelona final table member Guiseppe Pantaleo has just been forced to fold on the river after facing pressure from Joseph Houayek.

On a flop that read {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and with 3,500 chips already in the pot, Houayek checked from the small blind. Nikolay Tyurin then bet 1,525 from the big blind, only to see Pantaleo raise to 3,850 from middle position. Houayek, who initially checked, cold-called Pantaleo's raise but Tyurin got out of the way.

Both players then checked the arrival of the {9-Diamonds} on the turn but when the {10-Clubs} landed on the river Houayek bet 3,700 and Pantaleo snap-folded.
