Julian Petrowski

On the last hand before dinner break, Lee Farris limped from middle position and Julian Petrowski raised to 75,000 from the button. David Finley moved all in for 435,000 from the big blind, Farris called, and Petrowski called at risk for 375,000 total.

Finley: AdQh
Farris: 9d9c
Petrowski: QcQs

Petrowski was in great shape for a huge triple up and faded the KhTc8h board. Finley called for a jack to make his Broadway straight but didn’t get it on the Ts turn. The jack did appear on the Jc river to send Petrowski out in 17th and Finley got a full double through Farris.

David Finley – 1,265,000 (84 bb)
Lee Farris – 590,000 (39 bb)
Julian Petrowski – Eliminated in 16th Place ($4,968)

James Calderaro

Action folded ot Julian Petrowski in the small blind, he moved all in, and James Calderaro called at risk for about 180,000.

Petrowski: QcJc
Calderaro: 3d3h

It was a race and Calderaro needed his pair to hold to double up. The Ac5c3c flop smashed both with Calderaro’s set behind Petrowski’s flopped club flush. Neither the 9h turn not the 8s river paired the board for Calderaro and he was eliminated in 21st place.

Julian Petrowski – 560,000 (37 bb)
James Calderaro – Eliminated in 21st Place ($3,979)
