Pantaleo Mucks the Winning Hand?
Giuseppe Pantaleo has had a nightmare start to this tournament. He found himself on the Button and opened to 165,000 and Jesus Cortes Lizano called from the big blind. The flop was and both players checked. The Turn was the and Lizano bets 230,000 and placed the decision onto Pantaleo who made the call. The River paired the board for the second time . Lizano glanced at the cards in the middle of the table and then looked at his stack before taking some chips and making a bet of 330,000. Pantaleo then raised the river making it 790,000 – 460,000 more to Lizano. Lizano didn't even take that long before nodding his head to indicate the call. Pantaleo mucked immediately and Lizano - breathing a huge sigh of relief - showed for Jack high!
Pantaleo then realising his mistake informed the table that he mucked Ace high and would have won the hand.
Lizano takes the chip lead.
