Petrangelo Busts Klein to Assume the Chip Lead

Dan O'Hair

Level 7 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Morten Klein and Nick Petrangelo were in a preflop raising war that ended with Klein being all in for a bit under 300,000 on the button against Petrangelo, who had Klein covered in the big blind.

Morten Klein: 10♠10♦ All in
Nick Petrangelo: A♥Q♠

It was a race, but the K♦Q♣7♦3♦Q♥ runout improved Petrangelo to trip queens to claim his second elimination of the evening — vaulting him into the chip lead.

Klein reentered shortly after being eliminated.

Level 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Patrik Antonius was already all in and at risk preflop from the cutoff against Nick Petrangelo, who had Antonius covered from the big blind.

Patrik Antonius: 10♣10♠ All in
Nick Petrangelo: Q♥Q♠

Antonius was in rough shape against Petrangelo's ladies, and the 2♦9♣A♠J♥3♠ runout provided no help to the Finnish poker legend for the elimination.

Antonius immediately reentered, however, and has sat back down with a fresh stack.

Level 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Markkos Ladev opened to 6,000 from middle position before Jules Dickerson min-clicked to 9,000 from the hijack, and Ladev called.

On the 10♥6♣4♣ flop, Dickerson continued for 8,000 before Ladev check-jammed for 45,000 and Dickerson snapped it off.

Markkos Ladev: 9♣8♣ All in
Jules Dickerson: 10♠5♠

Ladev again had a combo draw against the flopped top pair of Dickerson. The 9♥ turn brought an additional sweat but it came to no avail on the Q♥ river as Ladev hit the rail.

"I block all the straights with my hand," explained Dickerson.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sam Greenwood opened to 4,500 from early position and then called after Jules Dickerson jammed his last 49,500 from the big blind.

"Oops. I was wrong," joked Dickerson as the cards hit their backs.

Jules Dickerson: 7♦6♣ All in
Sam Greenwood: A♣10♣

The board ran out K♥Q♣9♠8♣4♦ which was no help to Dickerson as he was eliminated.

Korzinin Hits the Rail

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo opened to 4,500 from under the gun before Markkos Ladev put in a three-bet next to act. When the action got to Vladimir Korzinin on the button, he cold four-bet to 30,000. Petrangelo contemplated his decision for a while before he opted to fold. Ladev jammed and Korzinin called off for 112,000 for his tournament life.

Vladimir Korzinin: Q♠Q♣ All in
Markkos Ladev: A♣K♥

It was the most classic of flips with Korzinin having the slight advantage. It stayed that way on the 6♠4♠2♦ flop. However, the A♥ fell on the turn which vaulted Ladev into the lead. The A♦ on the river was salt in the wound for Korzinin, who wished his opponents good luck as he exited the tournament.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened the hijack to 4,500 and Jules Dickerson called on the button. In the small blind, Mikael Thuritz three-bet to 20,000. Then, Leonard Maue shoved from the big blind for 81,000. The action folded back to Thuritz who put in the call.

Leonard Maue: K♥K♣ All in
Mikael Thuritz: Q♦Q♣

Maue was in great shape to score a double up and it stayed that way on the 10♣9♦3♣ flop to the 5♠ turn. However, the dealer had other plans when the Q♥ fell on the river in dramatic fashion as Thuritz made top set to eliminate Maue.

Level 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened the button before Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 10,000 from the small blind, and Lonis made the call.

The K♥9♥7♦ flop saw Thorel continue for 15,000. Lonis opted to raise to 48,000 in position and Thorel quickly put in the call.

The Q♣ peeled off on the turn. Lonis continued the pressure as he sized up to 103,000 and Thorel quickly called again.

The river was the 10♣ and Thorel opted to lead jam for around 95,000 and Lonis snapped it off.

Jean-Noel Thorel: A♠K♠ All in
Jesse Lonis: 9♦9♣

Thorel had flopped top pair, top kicker against the flopped set of Lonis and he couldn't get away as he hit the rail.
