Panka Busts in Cruel Fashion
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
In the first hand, Dominik Panka and Konstantin Puchkov got it in preflop with the Russian holding the superior 
?
. Panka had 
?
and was reduced to less than three big blinds after a board of 
?
?
?
?
.
One hand later, Jean-Noel Thorel raised from early position and Panka called all in, Marton Czuczor reraised from the small blind to 7,500. Thorel called and then bet the 
?
?
flop for 8,000 after it was checked to him.
Czuczor released his cards and Panka showed 
?
for a flopped set of eights. Thorel sheepishly turned over his 
?
and got there with a 
turn and the river to send the defending champion to the rail.
