Warrington Doubles Through Petrov

Action folded around to Mikhail Petrov in the cutoff and he raised to 35,000, which Ben Warrington quickly three-bet to 79,000 from the button. In the hand right before, Warrington had also three-bet Petrov, so perhaps the latter had had enough. "All in," he said.

"Call," was the response. Warrington committed for 605,000 total and it was off to the races.

Showdown
Petrov:
Warrington:

Petrov was ahead, but not after the flop came down . Warrington had spiked an ace to take the lead and keep his tournament hopes alive. Neither the turn nor river would help Petrov, though he did improve Warrington to the nut flush, and he saw more than half his chips disappear.
