Arends Joins the Fray

Level 6 : 700/1,400, 175 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised to 2,640 in the hijack and was called by Shawn Daniels in the small blind and Jans Arends in the big blind. The {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop was checked to Petrangelo, who bet 2,243 and was called by Arends.

That spelled the end for all betting action as the {j-Clubs} turn and {k-Clubs} river were checked. Arends turned over {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and that was good enough to beat the {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} of Petrangelo.
