Pentefountas: "Keep it Clean!"
Action was picked up on the flop with the board reading 7♠8♣2♣ and players heads up. Ioannis Pentefountas had bet 55,000 from the big blind and Hajime Watanabe moved all in with a covering stack, applying maximum pressure with the money bubble being only a few eliminations away. With a pained expression on his face, Pentefountas flicked in the call and was at risk.
Ioannis Pentefountas: 8♠8♥
Hajime Watanabe: K♣J♣
Pentefountas had flopped the nuts with top set, but Watanabe was very live with the possibility of catching any club for a flush or running cards for a straight.
"Keep it clean. Keep it clean," Pentefountas beckoned as the board ran out to decide his fate.
"Good card" Pentefountas commented as the K♦ came on the turn, removing the runner straight possibilities for Watanabe.
The river was the 10♠ and Pentefountas stayed alive, securing a full double-ip while Watanabe's stack was cut in half.
