Petrangelo’s Revenge

HK$206,000 Single Re-Entry Shot Clock Champion Quan Zhou has just departed the tournament area with US pro Nick Petrangelo administering the coup de grace after the two clashed in a battle of the blinds.

In an ironic reversal of roles where Zhou had over a 3-1 chip lead when play come down to heads up in the first of the HK$206,000 Re-Entry Shot Clock events, the Chinese player found himself short and at the same table as Petranglo once more.

Possibly looking for some payback Petrangelo moved all-in from the small blind, easily having Zhou’s paltry 40,000 stack covered and the Chinese pro made the call for his tournament life.

“Gamble?” quizzed Petrangelo, before rolling over .

“No gamble” replied Zhou, turning over .

While Zhou may not be gambling with garbage it is still a coin flip, one that he lost when the board ran out to give Petrangelo top two and send the Chinese player crashing out of the tournament.

Other recent casualties include Fabian Quoss, Weizhou Zha, Valdimir Troyanovskiy, Viliyan Petleshkov and Wu Huihan bringing the total number of remaining players down to 48.
