On fourth, it checked to Pan who bet, Panagiotou called, Lonis raised, and both opponents called.
On fifth, Pan led with open fives, Panagiotou raised, Lonis cold-called, Pan made it three bets, Panagiotou called all in for an even 600,000, two and a half big bets, and Lonis called.
Pan then check-called a bet on sixth. On seventh, Pan led, Lonis raised, and Pan reluctantly called.
Lonis tabled K♠9♠9♦ in the hole for a full house, nines full of kings, while Pan had 6♥5♦3♠ for a lower full house.
Panagiotou held 8♠8♦3♣ in the hole, and his opponents admitted that the three eights were the best hand until seventh street, and he was eliminated in brutal fashion in 7th
