Petrangelo Shoves River on Vogelsang

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a final board of {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} with around 95,000 in the middle, Christoph Vogelsang checked over to Nick Petrangelo.

Petrangelo was forced to use a time extension chip before he announced he was all in for roughly 120,000.

Vogelsang - who would be at-risk if he called - eventually found a fold, and the pot was awarded to Petrangelo.

Petrangelo Out-Boats Greenberg

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Larry Greenberg opened for 2,500 and Nick Petrangelo made it 9,000 in the small blind. Justin Ligeri came along in the big and Greenberg made it three to {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Petrangelo bet 7,000 and only Greenberg continued. Greenberg called 14,000 more on the {a-Diamonds} turn, and the river was a {6-Hearts}. Both players checked and Greenberg's {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} couldn't beat {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

Justin Bonomo raised the cutoff to 2,500 and Nick Petrangelo three-bet the button to 8,500. Justin Ligeri called in the small blind, as did Bonomo.

The flop landed {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, and Ligeri and Bonomo checked to Petrangelo who bet 10,000. Ligeri called, and Bonomo folded as the turn fell the {A-Hearts}.

Ligeri checked, Petrangelo cut out a bet of 34,000, and Ligeri quickly folded.

Katz Three-Barrels Out Kempe

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

Kempe check-called 20,000. The river brought the {3-Spades} and Kempe checked. Katz splashed in 34,500 and Kempe tanked, using a time extension before folding at the buzzer.

Greenberg Doubles Through Fox with Quads

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante
Larry Greenberg
Larry Greenberg

Justin Ligeri, Elio Fox, and Larry Greenberg committed 4,500 each preflop to see a {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{A-Spades} flop.

Ligeri checked, Fox bet 5,500 in the hijack, and Greenberg called in the cutoff as Ligeri folded.

The turn fell the {7-Hearts} and Fox bet 21,000. Greenberg was forced to use a time extension chip before calling as the {K-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

Fox shoved all in for roughly 140,000, and Greenberg snapped him off for his last 68,000.

Fox tabled his {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} for aces-up, but it would be Greenberg's {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for quads that would earn him the double.

Three-Bet Pot to Peters

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

Jason Koon reraised to 17,000 before the flop out of the big blind and David Peters called on the button. Koon continued for 9,000 on the {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop and Peters stuck around. On the {5-Diamonds} turn, Koon checked. Peters used nearly his whole 30 seconds before betting 28,000 and Koon's cards were in the muck shortly after that.

Old Rivals Clash

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

Christoph Vogelsang and Jake Schindler, who went first and second respectively in last year's Super High Roller Bowl, just got in a three-bet pot when Schindler opened for 2,500 and Vogelsang three-bet to 8,500 on his left in the cutoff. Schindler came along for the {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop and check-called 9,000. The turn brought the {a-Hearts} and Schindler checked. Vogelsang announced "15K" just before his time was up and Schindler folded.
