Soma Chipping Up; Pantaleo Busted
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
French poker pro Leo Soma, who won his first WSOP bracelet playing this very event in 2022, has had a good start. He has almost tripled up his starting stack to 140 big blinds at the current level.
In a recent hand before the blinds went up, he eliminated German player Giuseppe Pantaleo.
Pantaleo opened under the gun five-handed to 900, Soma three bet from the small blind to 3,800. Pantaleo called.
The flop came 6♦3♣9♦, Soma bet out 4,500. Pantaleo announced all in and Soma quickly called.
Giuseppe Pantaleo: K♥9♥
Leo Soma: Q♣Q♥
The turn and river were the 5♣ and the 6♣, respectively, and Pantaleo was out.
