Stewart Morrison

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

When action folded to Dragan Ignjatovski in the cutoff, he moved all in for 104,000. Only Fabrizio Petroni made the call, putting his tablemate at risk.

Dragan Ignjatovski: 9♠9♥ All in
Fabrizio Petroni: A♥10♥

The window card moved Petroni into the lead, with the flop coming out 10♠7♥6♠.

The turn 10♦ gave Ignjatovski just one more chance to catch up, but the river J♣ was unforthcoming. The players had similar stacks, but as Ignjatovski had the smaller of the two, he vacated his seat and headed toward the exit.
