Petroni Shows The Queen-Jack

Hill Kerby

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

There was around 80,000 in the pot in a three-way hand as the dealer fanned the {5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{a-Clubs} flop. The hijack checked, as did Giovanni Petroni from the cutoff. The player on the button followed suit and the turn fell {q-Hearts}.

Action checked to the player on the button who bet 25,000. The hijack called and Petroni put in a raise to 125,000. The player on the button thought for around three minutes before letting his hand go. The hijack called and the river came {8-Diamonds}. The hijack then checked and Petroni announced he was all in, pushing forward a small amount of chips and leaving the majority of his 530,000 or so where it stood.

His opponent folded without much thought and he emphatically tabled {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for nothing more than a pair of queens, taking the pot without a showdown.

As expected, a lot of the shorter stacks got their chips in and soon after headed to the payout desk. Only 950 players out of the 1,286 hopefuls that entered Day 4 remain in the first 20-minute break and when they return, the blinds will be 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 big blind ante.

Below are some highlights of the early Day 4 action.

Level: 17

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Ante: 10,000

The board read {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Spades} with over 400,000 in the middle already.

Robert Cheung was sitting in the tank from the middle position after he had checked and Preben Stokkan had bet 400,000 on the button. Cheung had 330,000 behind so would be putting his tournament life at risk if he made the call.

"I know you bluff, you were down to only 5,000 yesterday! Cheung said to Stokkan referring to his huge comeback yesterday to end with the chip lead.

Stokkan didn't respond.

"If this wasn't the Main Event, I would have called already," Cheung muttered.

Still no response of Stokkan and in the end, Cheung opted to fold.

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The dealer was finishing an all-in preflop runout of {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} between Patrick Lacy and Jason Loehrs.

Patrick Lacy: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Jason Loehrs: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

As Lacy was stacking his chips from the pot he had just won, he confirmed that he had raised and Loehrs had three-bet all in for around 180,000. Loehrs called and the rest was history.

On a board that read {q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} Jake Schindler bet 100,000 and was called by his opponent. The river came the {4-Clubs}, Schindler fired again with a bet of 280,000 and got another call from his opponent.

Schindler turned over the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} which was the best hand; his opponent quickly mucked.

Jameson Painter opened to 22,000 and Alberto Ortiz Such three-bet all in for around 250,000. It folded back to Painter who called all in for slightly less.

Alberto Ortiz: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Jameson Painter: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Painter was ahead with pocket aces and the flop {4-}{4-}{5-} didn't change anything. However, the turn {9-} gave Ortiz a set and after the {10-} came on the river, Painter was eliminated.

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Thomas Applegate raised it up in middle position to 22,000 and Daniel Hachem defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Hachem check-called a bet of 18,000.

The {k-Spades} fell on the turn, Hachem checked and Applegate bet out 35,000, which Hachem called once again. The river was the {k-Spades}, Hachem checked for the third time and Applegate barrelled a third bullet of 45,000 and that was enough to make Hachem give up the pot.
