Petrangelo Eliminates Antonius and Mokri

Mike Patrick

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After Kayhan Mokri moved all in for 43,000 under the gun, Patrik Antonius did likewise from the button for 94,000. Nick Petrangelo then moved in as well, covering both from the small blind.

Kayhan Mokri: K?Q? All in
Patrik Antonius: 5?5? All in
Nick Petrangelo: 8?8?

The flop came J?10?7? giving Mokri a great chance to triple up as he had an open-ended straight draw along with two overs.

"How can I lose?" Wednesday's �20,000 No-Limit Hold'em single-day event champion wondered.

He soon found out as the 2? turn and 3? river brought him no further help as Petrangelo's eights held up to score the double elimination.

With the field under 24 players, the tournament is down to three tables, but with the new EPT rules, no redraw took place �� players were just moved to new tables from one that was broken.
