Tens Propel Pettersson

Nikolai Yakovenko opened with a raise from early position, and Nathan Doudney called. It folded around to James Collopy in the small blind who reraised the pot. Then a short-stacked Thomas Pettersson called from the big blind with his last chips. Nikolai Yakovenko -- the original raiser -- reraised all in, Doudney got out, and Collopy called with the rest of his stack.

To sum up, then -- three players, two all in. Yakovenko had the other two covered; he had {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Collopy was all in with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. And Pettersson was all in with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

The board went {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and Pettersson's tens were best. He won the main pot, and the other two chopped the rest.

Pettersson moves all of the way up to 246,000 after that one. Yakovenko now has 263,000, and Collopy 110,000.
