There was quite a commotion at one of the nearby tables. Jonathan Little was standing with his hands on his hips, shaking his head as his stack was being counted down in front of him.

The board showed , and Nick Petrangelo was kind enough to provide the rest of the details once the dust settled.

According to Petrangelo, he opened the cutoff to 2,000, and Little defended his big blind.

On the flop, Little check-raised from 1,500 to 4,000, and Petrangelo re-raised to 10,400. Little called, then check-called another 23,000 after the turn brought the ace.

The river gave Little and his a full house, and he led out for something like 33,000. Petrangelo set him all in for about 75,000 total, and Little called it off with the third nuts.

Petrangelo had one of the two hands that could beat him, though. He showed for the nuts, claiming the big pot and eliminating Little during the second level of the day.

Petrangelo finished in fourth place in this event last year, and his encore effort is off to a flying start. He’s the early chip leader.

Nick Petrangelo – 220,000 (220 bb)
Jonathan Little – Eliminated
