Small Pots Grow Big Quick
In one of the last hands of the previous level, Nick Petrangelo opened the cutoff for 300 and received no fewer than 3 callers; the button and both blinds were all interested in seeing a flop.
Small blind Francois Corouge and big blind Liem Huynh checked on 
and Petrangelo bet 800. Ricardo Tavares called from the button before small blind Corouge squeezed to 3,100. Huynh wasted no time calling.
Petrangelo glanced at his chips for a bit before he 3-bet to 8,000. Tavares thought about it for a just a bit before folding. Corouge thought about it a bit longer but eventually followed suit en folded as well. Huynh called.
The 
hit the turn and Huynh checked.
"You have 3 blues behind, right?" Petrangelo asked.
Huynh acknowledged he had 15,000 in blue chips and had about 2,000 or so more in smaller denomination chips.
Petrangelo bet 19,000, putting Huynh all in and leaving himself just 2,550 behind.
Huyhn tanked for under a minute and folded. Petrangelo silently mucked while raking in the chips.
