Petrangelo Doubles Through Greenwood

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Nick Petrangelo in the small blind and he pushed all in for 1,290,000. Greenwood in the big blind asked for a precise count and Petrangelo said "No snap?" with a relieved voice. In the end, Greenwood did call.

Nick Petrangelo: {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Sam Greenwood: {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}

While Petrangelo mixed up the cards so it looked like it was ace-king up against eight-nine, the dealer put out the board: {Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Petrangelo doubled, Greenwood now short.

Benjamin Pollak Eliminated in 7th Place (€87,025)

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak
Benjamin Pollak

Action folded to Benjamin Pollak on the button and he moved in for his last 800,000 or so. Byron Kaverman folded his small blind but Mike McDonald instantly called from the big.

Benjamin Pollak: {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Mike McDonald: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The flop came {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Pollak already got up from the table. The {8-Spades} on the turn was a good card for him but the {10-Clubs} on the river didn't help him.

Pollak takes home €87,025, the remaining 6 players are guaranteed €110,590.

It's a Pre Flop Game

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

For the last half hour or so, there have been not many post flop pots. Most pots have been pre flop with either single raises taking it down, or three bets getting through. No calls and no four bets so far. Chips are moving around with still Petrangelo and Pollak short.

All Ins and No Calls

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Jason Wheeler has opened twice since the break, both times to 175,000. Both times someone shoved and both times Wheeler gave up. The first time it was Benjamin Pollak shoving, just now Mike McDonald made his move.

McDonald Doubles Petrangelo

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Byron Kaverman opened to 170,000 from middle position and Mike McDonald in the hijack three bet to 390,000. Nick Petrangelo on the button shoved for 455,000 and both blinds and Kaverman folded. McDonald made the call.

"You call?" Petrangelo asked with a smile, "I did not expect that!"

Nick Petrangelo: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Mike McDonald: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Petrangelo was already home safe on the turn.
