Jeff Petronack Eliminated in 6th Place ($43,960)

Jeff Petronack - 6th Place
Jeff Petronack - 6th Place
After a pre-flop raising war, Jeff Petronack moved all in for a total of 297,000. Ryan Fee was his opponent in the hand, and asked, "You're all in? I call!" Fee had his man covered, so it was Petronack whose tournament was on the line.

Showdown:
Petronack: {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}
Fee: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}

The two men stood and shook hands, complimenting each other's cards. They were seemingly poised for a chop.

But it was not meant to be for Petronack. Ryan Fee hit a miracle flop as the dealer spread {J-Spades} {8-Spades} {10-Spades}, giving him the ace-high flush and leaving his opponent drawing dead to a running straight flush chop.

There would be no chop for Petronack though.

The dealer ripped off the {Q-Spades} on the turn, giving Fee the unbeatable spade Royal Flush! To make things even more dramatic, the river brought the {9-Spades}, putting a straight flush on board and giving Fee the top seven cards in the deck!

Jeff Petronack put on a good show today, moving his chip stack up steadily until he finally met his demise. For his efforts, he will cash a check for $43,960. Not too shabby for three days of work.
