Down to one big blind, Nick Petrangelo spun a chip and a chair into a $567,000 tournament victory in the $52,000 buy-in seventh event of the Stairway to Millions series Wednesday afternoon.
Petrangelo reached his third final table in the series and then entered Event #8: $102,000 No-Limit Hold'em where he bagged the Day 1 chip lead. Just three players remain in the final Stairway to Millions tournament, with Sean Perry in second place and David Peters in third. Play will resume at 1 p.
