The action folded to Jesse Lonis on the button who shipped all in for 1,120,000. Nick Petrangelo snapped him off from the big blind and the cards were on their backs.

Jesse Lonis: A♠4♠ All in
Nick Petrangelo: A♣9♠

"It's coming, Jesse," Martin Kabrhel shouted as he was sweating the action at a table other than his own.

The board ran out Q♥8♠4♣K♠J♥ and Lonis flopped a pair of fours to earn a double up through Petrangelo.

"Hippo power!" Kabrhel celebrated.

Level 15 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

David Peters just got moved to a new table and Martin Kabrhel was equally surprised and impressed with his comeback thus far.

"How much were you down to earlier, David?" Kabrhel questioned.

"150," Peters replied.

"I think it was 145," Kabrhel quipped back. "Don't bluff me, please."

Peters quickly opened to 240,000 from under the gun and Bryn Kenney three-bet to 630,000 on the button. Peters responded with a four-bet to 1,130,000 and Kenney folded.

On the next hand, Christoph Vogelsang raised to 260,000 in the hijack and Andrew Lichtenberger called on the button. Peters three-bet to 1,040,000 from the big blind and got both Vogelsang and Lichtenberger to fold again.
