Petronack Puts Beasy To the Test

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Jeff Petronack

There was over 35,000 in the middle on a board of {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} with action heads up between Jeff Petronack in the small blind and Joseph Beasy, who was on the button.

Petronack had a bet of 13,100 on the felt in front of him and action was on Beasy, who thought for over a minute. Eventually, he folded {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} face-up, exclaiming with a tablemate that everything had gotten there and that his kings couldn't have been good as Petronack raked in his newly-acquired chips, bringing him near two-and-a-half starting stacks with just over 10 minutes before the first break of the day.

"Player is all in," was overheard from the dealer. Shortly afterward, a call was announced. A decent pile of chips were already in the middle as the runout finished to put on board {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

Ian Matakis: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Vic Peppe: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

"Nice hand," said Matakis, getting up from the table as he was wished a good game. Nathan Peterson was also eliminated a few minutes prior, just after the redraw upon the tournament reaching two tables.

Welcome To the Canterbury Park 2019 Fall Poker Classic $2,500 High Roller

Canterbury Park
Canterbury Park

The Canterbury Park 2019 Fall Poker Classic has seen nearly two weeks of preliminary events run to completion throughout the month of October, and it’s time for the $2,500 High Roller event. This event marks the beginning of the final weekend of the series, though action is still only getting started.

2019 marks a new placement for the High Roller within the Fall Classic’s schedule. While previous years have seen the event either at the beginning or the middle of the festival, this year’s version will take place immediately before the $1,100 Main Event that will take place Friday through Sunday with the hopes of a record-setting field.

Players will receive 30,000 in chips to start with blinds beginning at 100/100. Levels will last 40 minutes each with 10-minute breaks at the conclusion of every three levels. There will be a 40-minute dinner break after Level 6, and late registration will remain open until the end of Level 12 at approximately 10:10 p.m. local time.

Cards are in the air at 1 p.m. local time with 14 levels on tap for Day 1. The High Roller is a two-day event, meaning all remaining players will bag and tag their chips before returning to blinds of 2,000/4,000/4,000 to play down to a winner on Friday.

PokerNews will be providing updates all tournament long. Be sure to keep it here to catch all the action.
