Nick Petrangelo

Christopher Frank raised to 500 in the hijack and was called by Nick Petrangelo on the button and Sergio Aido in the big blind. The flop fell {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Aido checked to Frank who bet 400. Petrangelo called while Aido stepped aside.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and Frank checked this time. Petrangelo bet 2,500 and Frank called to see the {9-Spades} on the river. Frank checked again and Petrangelo used a time bank before announcing a bet of 6,000. Frank briefly thought but decided to let his cards go.

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

The action was folded to Sam Grafton on the button who made it 600 to go. Charlie Carrel called from the big blind and the flop came {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Carrel check-called a bet of 1,200 from Grafton and the {q-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Carrel checked again and Grafton sized up with a bet of 5,200. Carrel still called and the {3-Hearts} completed the board. Carrel checked for the third time and Grafton dropped in a bet of 11,000. Carrel went into the tank and after his second time bank, the table chatter began.

"I promise this is the last time bank. Test your heart for another 20 seconds," Carrel said. He eventually decided to muck his cards and Grafton collected the pot.

"We need to speed this tournament up. Get that on PokerNews," Grafton said with a laugh.
