Gueorguiev's River Check-Raise Nets Good Pot

[user46298]

After a couple of pots fizzled out on the flop (one going to Johansson, one to Kara Scott) a bigger one grew between preflop raiser Andrew Pantling and Atanas Gueorguiev. The latter had limped on the small blind and then called Pantling's 50,000 raise.

Both players checked the {8-Clubs}

flop, but Gueorguiev bet 85,000 on the {J-Diamonds}

turn. Pantling called. The river brought the {K-Clubs}

. Gueorguiev checked, Pantling bet 56,000, Gueorguiev quickly raised to 215,000. Pantling made the call -- only to find the Bulgarian on a set of fives which took down the pot. Pantling is on the decline, it looks like, for the first time in three days.
