Sam Panzica opens to 10,000 on the button and the big blind defends.

The flop comes Diamond 9Heart 5Heart 4 and the big blind checks. Panzica continuation-bets 11,000 and the big blind thinks for a while and calls.

Action checks through the Heart 2 and Heart Q river to take the hand to showdown, where Panzica only needs king high Heart KSpade 8 to win the pot.

On the next hand, James Romero opens to 11,000 in the hijack and Panzica three-bet shoves. Romero folds and asks to see one of Panzica’s cards. Panzica complies with the request, and Romero shows the Spade Q.

Sam Panzica – 145,000 (29 bb)
James Romero – 68,000 (13 bb)
