Gonsalves Put in a Strange Spot

With ten WSOP cashes to his name, Markus Gonsalves, has a lot of WSOP experience. In that time we imagine he has been put in a lot of tough spots and a lot of ridiculous spots and here is the latter.

The dealer had done his job and the board was showing {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} {6-Clubs}. Pantling checked to Gonsalves and he made a value bet of 3,000 leaving 20,000 behind and Pantling put him all-in.

"You haven't got the straight flush have you?" Asked Gonsalves.

It became apparent that Gonsalves had the nut flush and he tanked for a good three minutes before making the call. He was holding {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} and Pantling showed the bluff of {10-Spades} {8-Spades}. Despite that bluff Pantling still has 58,000 chips. Gonsalves is up to 55,000.
