Pantling 1, Laak 0
On a
flop, we picked up the action as Phil Laak led out with a bet of 35,000. Pantling made the call, and Laak slowed down on the
turn. When he checked, Pantling took the opportunity to lay out a bet of 82,000. That was the winner; Laak folded himself down to 648,000, and the first little victory of heads-up play goes to Pantling.
