Petiote No Longer Under the Radar
Level 32
: 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Lunique Petiote had been flying a bit under the radar but that is certainly no longer the case.
Petiote has vaulted to the top of the chip counts and he's now sitting behind a mountain of 20,000,000.
It's a neck and neck battle for the chip lead between Petiote and Arnaldo "AG" Gordon as day two winds down.
The big stacks are currently sharing the felt so there's plenty of potential for a monster pot if these two big stacks should elect to clash.
