Petrangelo Runs Into Badziakouski's Queens

Level 8 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo just took his seat on his second bullet of the day but unfortunately it didn't last very long. It only took a couple of preflop raises for Petrangelo to get his stack of nearly 300,000 in the middle against Mikita Badziakouski.

Nick Petrangelo: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Mikita Badziakouski: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Not only did Badziakouski hold the higher of the two pocket pairs, but he also had both of the suits covered. The board ran out {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Petrangelo was eliminated from the tournament.

The {2-Hearts} fell on the turn, Foxen checked, Sammartino checked, and Hunichen bet 54,000. Brewer called, Foxen folded, and Sammartino called.

The {k-Clubs} completed the board and Sammartino checked. Hunichen bet 193,000, leaving himself with a single yellow T-1,000 behind. Brewer folded and Sammartino called.

Hunichen tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for flopped quads, while Sammartino showed {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a flush he didn't want to complete.

Elio Fox
Elio Fox

"This is gonna be the summer Jason, starting now!" Jason Koon exclaimed as he slammed in a raise of 20,000 from under the gun. However, he was quickly met with a three-bet to 70,000 from Elio Fox on his left. The action folded back to Koon who made the call.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Koon check-called a bet of 20,000 from Fox. The turn brought the {a-Diamonds} and Koon checked again. Fox tossed in a bet of 35,000 and Koon check-raised all in for around 110,000. Fox quickly called and tabled {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a set of sixes.

The {2-Diamonds} paired the board on the river to improve Fox to a full house and Koon was eliminated on his first bullet.
