Peters Busts Bolek and Fortini in Huge Pot

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Chris Bolek and Hayden Fortini have just been eliminated in stunning fashion to Jimmy Peters, who has now taken over as the chip leader with nearly 90,000.

On the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop, a raising war broke out between the three players that saw all the money go in. Peters had the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} for middle set, Bolek had the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for bottom pair and a flush draw, and Fortini had the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for a royal flush draw.

The turn was the {7-Spades} to keep Peters in front. The river was the {A-Clubs}, pairing the board and giving Peters a winning full house. Peters had both players covered, and Bolek and Fortini were eliminated.

Playing the Board

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jimmy Peters limped in from early position before Tim Shortell raised to 925 on the button. Action folded back to Peters, and he called to see the flop come down {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Peters checked, Shortell bet 1,725, and Peters called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {4-Clubs} complete the board on the river. With a straight on board, Peters bet 3,000. Shortell called.

Peters showed the {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, and Shortell showed the {Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Both were playing the board and chopped up the pot.

Franklin Doubles

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

After busting his first bullet, Ryan Franklin has already made more of his second. He just recently picked up pocket kings and double up, but he had to do it the hard way as his opponent held two aces. Franklin hit a king, though, and had his opponent barely covered to eliminate the player and move to 43,000 in chips.
