Hands #1-5: Pantling Continues to Chip Up

Hand #1: The button was with Andrew Pantling and he called after Al De Carolis had opened to 1,200,000 from under-the-gun. The two of them saw a flop and De Carolis check-called a bet of 1,400,000. The hit the turn and De Carolis check-folded to Pantling's second barrel of 2,600,000.

Hand #2: Andrew Pantling raised to 650,000 and won the blinds and antes.

Hand #3: James Bord raised to 700,000 from the cutoff and met no resistance.

Hand #4: Andrew Pantling raised it up to 650,000 from middle position and called after Anatoly Gurtovoy three-bet to 1,500,000 from the small blind. A bet of 1,500,000 from Gurtovoy on the flop earned him the pot.

Hand #5: The action folded to Al De Carolis and he limped in from the cutoff, Elton Tsang completed from the small blind and Cary Katz checked his option. A board rolled off, Tsang bet 450,000 on the river and De Carolis looked him up. Tsang showed which was good versus the of De Carolis.
