"I Should've Let Them Muck His Cards"

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo open-jammed 420,000 from middle position, and when it folded to James Caputo in the cutoff, he three-bet all in. However, the dealer misheard Caputo, and attempted to muck his hand, before Petrangelo stopped the dealer, and they confirmed Caputo did go all in. Action folded around and it was the two players heads up, with Petrangelo at risk.

Nick Petrangelo: KQ All in
James Caputo: AJ

It was a fair fight, and after the AKJ2Q runout gave both players two pair, Caputo had the better one to take the pot and eliminate Petrangelo.

As he was leaving the table, Petrangelo jokingly said, "I should have let them muck his cards."
