Nick Petrangelo’s tournament poker resume is one of the very best in the world. The 33-year-old American poker pro has cashed for more than $17 million in live tournament cashes, with two World Series of Poker gold bracelets won along the way. One of the few accolades missing from Petrangelo’s long list of accomplishments was a victory in a World Poker Tour main event. He rectified that on August 11, 2020 by taking down the WPT World Online Championships $3,200 no-limit hold’em six-max event. Petrangelo beat out a field of 999 total entries to secure his first WPT title and the top prize of $494,550.

Petrangelo’s name will be added to the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup, which was recently renamed in honor of the former voice of the tour. He also earned a $15,000 entry into the WPT Tournament of Champions and a Hublot luzury watch.

Petrangelo came into the final day of this event in fourth chip position with seven players remaining. 2018 Card Player Player of the Year award winner Jake Schindler was ultimately elimianted on the official final-table bubble when his pocket kings failed to hold up against the the A-3 offsuit of Artsiom Prostak. An ace on the turn gave Prostak the lead and Schindler was unable to regain the lead on the river. He took home $70,200 for his seventh-place showing in this event.

Petrangelo surged up the leaderboard by doubling through 2017 WSOP $50,000 Poker Players Championship winner Elior Sion, who started the day second in chips. He four-bet shoved with JJ only to learn that Petrangelo had three-bet with the AA. Petrangelo called, flopped top set, and made a boat on the river to leave Sion as the clear short stack at the table. He got his last handful of blinds in with A3 only to run into the pocket jacks of Jiachen Gong. The KJ2Q5 runout gave Gong a set to lock up the pot and eliminate Sion in sixth place ($93,630).

Despite ending Sion’s eun in this event, Gong was the next to fall. He got all-in preflop with AA up against the J10 of Petrangelo and was in good shape to double up. The board brought three jacks, though, giving Petrangelo quads to leave Gong drawing dead goind into the river. He earned $128,100 as the fifth-place finisher.

Patrice Brandt got the lost of his stack in on a AJ68 board holding A5. He had run into a turned set of eights for Prostak, who held the 88 and made the call. The 10 on the river saw Brandt hit the rail in fourth place, taking home $192,900 for his deep run.

It is American pro Nick Petrangelo who has the chip lead with 3,908,741 chips and the popular high stakes player and Upswing Poker coach – who ironically has constructed a whole tutorial about how to win tournaments – will be hopeful of closing it out. He’s the betting favourite going into the final, too, as you can see below.

Prosak won a huge preflop race with JJ against the AK of Arsenii Karmatckii, who had finished second in a WSOP Online $1,500 buy-in freezout event just two days earlier for $328491. The pocket jacks held up and Karmatckii was sent to the rail in third place ($278,448).

With that, Prostak took roughly a 3:1 chip lead into heads-up play against Petrangelo. The American was able to battle his way into the lead, making a few bluffs and picking off some bluff attempts by Prostak to close the gap and eventually move ahead of his Belarusian opponent. In the final hand, Prostak min-raised to 2,800,000 from the button holding AQ. Petragnelo defended his big blind with the K10 and the flop came down 10102. Petrangelo checked-raised Prostak’s bet of 1,400,000 to 4,000,000. Prostak called and the turn brought the 5. Petrangelo bet 8,300,000 and Prostak called. The A completed the board and Petrangelo moved all-in with his trips. Prostak, with aces and tens, made the call only to find out that his hand was second best. Petrangelo secured the pot and the title, while Prostak earned $368,250 as the runner-up finisher.

With just under 80 big blinds, Petrangelo may have attracted more bettors, but the money was right behind Michael Zhang and while he’ll respect Petrangelo’s established poker history, he won’t be afraid of taking on the leader, sat behind 2,825,669 chips himself.

Sandwiched by those two huge names is Bert Stevens, who will go into play second in chips with 3.2 million chips, not too far behind Petrangelo’s stack. While Pentrangelo is hunting his first Super MILLION$ title, having a best finish of third in late December, Stevens has already won a Super MILLION$ title having bagged the title in September, and if he can make the final six players will kick his earnings on GGPoker well past $4.5 million.

Lithuanian player Laurynas Levinskas is next in the chipcounts and has made the final table in what is his 32nd appearance in the 34 Super MILLION$ events. Levinskas has only ever finished fifth so far, with his $151,000 score on that occasion beatable if he can come 4th or higher today.

With some terrific other players in contention, such as Ukrainian player Andrey Novak, Aliaksei Boika and Benjamin Rolle, the chip leaders won’t have it all their own way.

With a $424,580 top prize and just $53,072 on offer to the player who finishes in 9th place, competition is bound to be fierce at the felt, from the short-stacked ‘U LOSSER’ from India to Nick Petrangelo, who has the chip lead and the most backers on GGPoker.
