Petronack Cracks Kings Again
Jeff Petronack has just cracked pocket kings to score an elimination just moments after cracking the same hand with pocket fives to earn a double. He was kind enough to recount the hand, saying a player in early position raised to 7,500.
"I called with king-nine off suit - a real strong hand - and the (player on the) button called behind," said Petronack. "The flop came 
and the player went all in for, what, 20,000?" He asked the table for confirmation and they said 22,000.
"Twenty-two thousand," Petronack corrected. "I called and he (the player on the) button folded. He had two kings."
"Jack-nine!" said another player at the table.
"The turn came and the river came a . I hit my two outer, just like I did against his kings," said Petronack, pointing to tablemate Jeremy Dresch, whose kings he cracked just moments before. With the pot, Petronack now finds himself north of a quarter-million in chips with the end of the night looming near.
