Aces Hold for Pantaleo

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Cutoff player Clyde Maliauka and big blind Giuseppe Pantaleo got themselves into a preflop raising war, as the two ended up all in with the pot totalling close to 1,500,000.

Giuseppe Pantaleo: AAK9 All in
Clyde Maliauka: A765

Pantaleo was at risk and up against a hand with plenty of equity, but confined his opponent to runner-runner on the Q33 flop. It kept getting better for Pantaleo, as the 10 turn gave him a flush and had his opponent drawing dead, with the 3 river improving him to a full house for good measure.
