Esquevin Cripples Pantling

[user66118]

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Kevin Eyster opened to 28,000 from the cutoff seat, and Wesley Pantling called on the button. From the small blind, Arnaud Esquevin squeezed all in for 198,000 total, and that folded Eyster. Pantling, however, put in the call to put Esquevin at risk.

Showdown
Pantling: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}
Esquevin: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Esquevin's pair held as the board came running {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} {7-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} . He's doubled his way back to 415,000 now, while Pantling is left with just 27,000 with which to try and mount a comeback.
