Petronack Puts His Hopes in Canine

From middle position, Jeff Petronack moved all in for his last 11,000 chips. The player in the button seat then reraised to 38,000, and action came along to our Australian friend Will Mitchell. He went deep into the tank, considering a call for the rest of his chips as well. After two or three minutes, he open-mucked his {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}. With him out of the way, and Petronack all in for his tournament life, the two live hands were turned over.

Showdown:
Petronack: {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}
Button: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

The flop paired both players, as the {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {2-Hearts} kept the covering player in the lead. The turn brought some drama though, as the {Q-Diamonds} gave Petronack a flush draw. Sure enough, he drilled the {6-Diamonds} on the river, filling in that flush and earning a timely double-up to 23,000.
