Pantaleo Wins a Flip

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Giuseppe Pantaleo raised to 5,500 and then called when Refael Shaoulian three-bet all-in for his last 26,000. Pantaleo turned over {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} and was racing against the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} of his opponent.

The {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop kept the nines of Pantaleo as the best hand, but he needed to avoid a king, queen or club in order for that fact to remain true. The {3-Diamonds} turn was followed by the {A-Spades} and Pantaleo knocked Shaoulian out.

"How do you do that?" asked one player.

"I'm running good," came the answer
