Pantling v. Laak

As soon as Willie Tann left the building, Chris Bjorin took over the title of the tightest player at the table. As such, even three-handed, most of the action is between Phil Laak and chip daddy Andrew Pantling.

We just caught the tail end of a pot with about 50,000 in it going to a {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} river. Pantling made a big 72,000-chip bet on the end, and Laak made what would turn out to be a wrong call. His opponent showed {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for the two pair, and that was the winner.

On the next hand, Laak opened to 22,000 from the button before Pantling three-bet him to 64,000 next door. Bjorin folded and Laak eventually did so as well, and that's another pile of chips to Pantling's corner.

Laak has slipped back to 255,000 after those two hits, and Pantling now has more than two thirds of the chips in play. Laak, on the other hand, has an enormous lead in number of tweets during the last two hours.
