Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Hand #1:
Ian Matakis opened to 12,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet by Jeff Petronack to 30,000 from the button. Action made its way back to Matakis and he thought for a few moments before four-betting all in for 104,500. Petronack went into the tank for about a half-minute and then let his cards go, resulting in Matakis earning the pot.
Hand #2:
On the following hand, Matakis opened to 12,000 from the hijack and Petronack three-bet him again to 30,000 out of the cutoff. Action folded back to Matakis and he asked for confirmation of the bet size. The dealer nodded and he sent his cards to the muck, ceding the pot to Petronack after taking one from him on the previous hand.

. Both players checked. 
and Petronack checked again. Hanner threw out a bet of 20,000 and Petronack thought for about 15 seconds before matching it. The river fell 
.
to earn him the knockout and send Vou to the rail as the sixth-place finisher.
. Vang checked to Petronack, who put out a continuation-bet of 10,000. Vang thought for a few moments and then let his cards go.
and action checked to Matakis, who put out a bet of 16,000. Beasy called and Peppe folded to take action heads up to the river 
for kings up and Matakis tabled 
to give Vang a bit of a sweat, and the turn 
gave him even more cards to fade. The river 
came clean for his aces, however, and he earned the double at Hanner's expense.
