Pantaleo's River Shove Gets Fold From Bansal
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
In a large pot of over 225,000 in the middle, Pawaan Bansal was contemplating a river shove of near 200,000 from overnight chipleader Giuseppe Pantaleo. The board read 
and Pantaleo sat motionless as Bansal thought it over for about a minute before eventually deciding to fold.
Pantaleo pushed his cards toward the muck but before releasing them, Bansal coaxed him to show "I'll be honest and tell you what I had" said Bansal. Pantaleo briefly flashed ace-queen for top two pair and Bansal said that he had had ace-king.
"How could you fold?" asked Pantaleo with a smile as he hauled in a nice pot for his large stack.
