Nick Petrangelo Takes it on the River
Elio Fox raised to 2,500 from under the gun and both Ali Imsirovic and Nick Petrangelo called on the button and big blind respectively.

Fox called, Imsirovic folded, and the river landed the [5s]. Petrangelo bet out 25,000, and after using a time extension, Fox folded.

Event #6 will see players begin with 125,000 in starting chips, and levels will be 40-minutes in duration with a 10-minute break every two levels. Players that register before the start time of 12 p.m. PT will not have to pay rake on their tournament entry, but this will not apply for late entries and re-entries. Registration closes at 5:30 p.m., which is the start of Level 7 following the conclusion of the dinner break, and players are allowed two reentries during the event.
The PokerGO Cup will play with a 30-second shot clock, and each player will receive six 30-second time extensions per entry. The final six players will receive an additional six 30-second time extensions. The player that accumulates the most PokerGO Tour points during the series will win the PokerGO Cup and receive an additional $50,000 in prize money.
