Watson Runs Into Aces
In the first hand we saw Oleksii Khoroshenin open for 7,200 and Nicholas Petrangelo in the cutoff made it 18,500 to go. Action folded back to Khoroshenin and the man from the Ukraine four bet to 45,000. Petrangelo didn't hesitate and five bet to 72,000. Khoroshenin quickly released.
The next hand Mike Watson opened for 6,000 and Petrangelo three bet to 14,000 from the hijack. The cutoff, button and both blinds folded, Watson shoved all in. We're unsure for what amount the all in was, as Petrangelo called so quick there was no time and need for a count.
Nicholas Petrangelo: 
Mike Watson: 
The board ran out 
, never making things too exciting. Watson got up and made his way to the exit, Petrangelo started stacking his new found chips into a chip castle worth 316,000 total now.
