Petrangelo Wakes up With Ace-King to Send Santerne and Thuritz Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Thomas Santerne moved all in first-to-act and action folded to Mikael Thuritz, who also went all in on the button. Nick Petrangelo called from the small blind to put both players at risk and a three-way showdown was held.

Mikael Thuritz: A♣8♥ All in
Thomas Santerne: K♦J♦ All in
Nick Petrangelo: A♥K♠

Petrangelo had both players dominated, and the 3♣Q♠9♠2♦4♣ runout failed to pair anyone — leaving Petrangelo best with his big-slick for the double knockout.

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened from the hijack and action folded to Mike Watson, who shoved for approximately 100,000 from the small blind. Lonis quickly called to put Watson at risk and hands were revealed.

Mike Watson: K♠Q♣ All in
Jesse Lonis: A♦Q♦

The 3♥10♣2♠ flop changed nothing, but the K♥ turn vaulted Watson into the lead with a pair of kings.

However, the J♦ river reversed fortunes as Lonis made Broadway on the end to eliminate Watson from the tournament.
