Nick Petrangelo raised to 50,000 on the button and David Malka moved all in for 375,000 out of the small blind. Kou Vana goes into the tank for a couple minutes before folding and Petrangelo snap-called.

Petrangelo showed AcAs and had Malka’s KsJc dominated. The board ran out Qc5s2c8s3c and Malka hit the rail in third place.

He picked up just shy of $40,000 for his run and Petrangelo takes the chip lead into heads-up play with Vana.

Nick Petrangelo – 1,400,000
