Pantaleo Caught Out

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Giuseppe Pantaleo is a player who can show up with any two cards at any time but none of his table mates expected to see his holding in the hand that just took place over on Table 2.

Pantaleo was under the gun and he opened to 500 and was the only caller when Joseph El Khoury — to Pantaleo's immediate left — three-bet to 1,200. Pantaleo then check-called a 1,800 bet on a {j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, then both players checked the {2-Clubs} turn.

The river was a second deuce, the {2-Spades} and now Pantaleo lead out with a bet of 1,950 but El Khoury made the call.

El Khoury tabled {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} whilst Pantaleo cold only muster {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Ooops!
