Pontos Ponders His Four-Bet
Level 24
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Panteleimon Pontos opened from the cutoff to 50,000 and Kevin O'Donnell three-bet to 170,000.
Pontos went deep into the tank, long enough that the table felt the need to call the clock on him. During his countdown, Pontos decided to four-bet jam all-in for over 500,000 chips. O'Donnell instantly called and Pontos showed his hand reluctantly.
Panteleimon Pontos: 
Kevin O'Donnell: 
Pontos had put his stack at risk with a daring four-bet bluff, but was a big dog against O'Donnell's dominating ace. Pontos turned a flush draw on the 
runout. The 
river had the right color but the wrong suit for Pontos to stay alive.
He left the tournament area while O'Donnell won a big pot to soar up the ranks.
