Pantaleo Takes a Big Hit
Level 28
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Giuseppe Pantaleo and Cannon Lim had gotten to the river of a hefty pot with the board reading 
. Lim was in the big blind, while Pantaleo was under the gun. Lim bet 450,000, a bet worth more than half of Pantaleo's stack, and the German thought for about a minute before calling.
Lim rolled over 
for the nut straight, and Pantaleo shook his head as he mucked his cards.
"I'm lucky that I didn't go broke there," Pantaleo said as he tossed his cards to the dealer.
Even though he didn't go broke, Pantaleo was knocked down to just 375,000, with the blinds coming through him next.
