donpeters

Evan "MacDaddy34" Panesis moved all in preflop from the small blind on the prior hand to take down the blinds and antes. On this hand, Panesis was on the button and once again moved all in, for 68,000 total.

Jesse Hale folded his small blind and then John McDonald made the call for 60,000 more out of the big blind.

Panesis emphatically slammed over the {K-Diamonds}

in a joking manner and then watched McDonald turn up pocket threes, {3-Spades}

. It would be a race with Panesis' tournament life on the line.

The first three cards didn't hit Panesis when it came {A-Clubs}

. The turn card brought a little sweat to the action when the {9-Spades}

fell, giving Panesis a bunch more outs. "It's never easy," commented the onlooking Hale.

The river fell the {A-Spades}

though, not what Panesis needed. "That's poker," he said after shaking the hands of the final three remaining players.

Panesis earned $25,116 for his 4th place finish.
