The Craft of Hitting
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Nick Petrangelo in the hijack and the high stakes tournament regular opened to 20,000. His neighbor, Stoyan Obreshkov in the cutoff, three-bet to 53,000. Mickey Craft in the small blind called rather quickly, and the big blind gave up. Petrangelo four-bet to 160,000 and Obreshkov gave up. Craft snap-called to get to see a flop.
The flop came 
and Craft checked. Petrangelo had 235,000 behind and moved all in. Craft once again snap-called.
Petrangelo: 
Craft: 
The 
hit the turn giving Craft the flush. Petrangelo came up short with the 
on the river and made his exit. Craft is up to 3.4 million, making him the massive chipleader of the tournament.
