Engel Shooting
Level 27
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Under the gun, Ramana Epparla opened to 100,000 and Sean Knitter called out of the small blind. In the big, Ari Engel squeezed in a raise, all in for about 700,000. Epparla and Knitter folded in turn, and Engel added a couple stacks of gray to his pile.
On the next hand, Sean Knitter opened to 100,000 from the button, and Engel three-bet shoved again. He had Knitter covered this time, putting him to the decision for 652,000 more chips. Knitter considered for a couple long minutes, staring up at the clock and doing some match before surrendering his cards.
Engel was under 100,000 not that long ago, but he's back to about 1.1 million now and drawing ever close to the leaders.
