Joel Micka was first in the pot, putting out a raise to 18,500 from late position. Next to act was Jeff Petronack, who said, "Okay, let's do it. I'm all in." With that, he pushed all 107,000 of his chips into the middle. The button and small blind folded, and action came to big stack Ryan Fee. He asked Micka for a count, and when he got the necessary information, Ryan reraised all in over the top of the table. That was enough to get Micka out and pit Petronack against the chip leader for his tournament life.
Showdown:
Petronack:
Fee:
The flop of was an ugly one for Petronack. The turn was even worse, as the kept Fee in the lead and gave him the added benefit of a flush draw. Down to his last card, Petronack somehow pulled the out of the deck on fifth street, drawing a huge reaction from the spectators!
With that, Petronack earns a much-needed double up, sitting now with right around 220,000.
