Petrangelo Wins Big From Zang

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

A sizable pot has just played out between Shunu Zang and Nick Petrangelo with the latter coming out on top.

Pre-flop is was Frenchman Imad Derwiche who lit the fuse with an opening raise of 14,000 from middle position. Sitting in the cut off Nick Petrangelo threw in the call before action folded around to Zang in the big blind and he squeezed to 70,000 in total.

While that was enough to get Derwiche to bow out Petrangelo was going nowhere and he quickly threw in the calling chips to take play heads-up to the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop.

Zang let the 30-second shot clock run down without acting, so this counted as a check and Petrangelo quickly checked it back and the {10-Hearts} landed on the turn to double pair the board.

With the action back on Zang he acted slightly faster this time and led out for a tickly little 10,000 bet, and Petranglo threw in two yellow 5k calling chips to bring both players to the {2-Spades} river.

This is where the fireworks happened and Zang quickly led for 135,000 with Petrangelo calling immediately. The action happened so fast we did not get a chance to see Zang’s hand, but we know he did not have an ace or a pair larger than the two on the board as Petrangelo took down the pot with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.
