Peters Picks Up a Few

Marcel Vonk opened for 200,000 from the small blind, and as he had done just a few hands before, David Peters called from the BB.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Vonk continued for 300,000, and Peters called. Both then checked the {10-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river. Peters showed {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}, and Vonk mucked.

Marcel Vonk -- 5.55 million
David Peters -- 3.8 million
Paul Kerr -- 2.05 million

Paul Kerr Eliminated in Third Place ($255,076)

Paul Kerr - 3rd place
Paul Kerr - 3rd place

David Peters and Paul Kerr went to see the {5-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Spades} flop, without a preflop raise, something rare.

Peters fired a 115,000-chip bet and Kerr just called.

The turn card was a {q-Clubs}, and once more Peters fired a bet, now worth 270,000 chips. Kerr announced re-raise all in and Peters called.

Showdown
Kerr: {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Peters: {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The river card was magical for Peters -- {9-Clubs} -- and Paul Kerr is our third-place finisher.

First Blood to Vonk

Peters opened with a minimum-raise to 160,000 from the small blind/button, then Marcel Vonk reraised to 400,000. Peters made the call.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Vonk bet 550,000, and Peters quickly called. The both players checked the {J-Hearts} turn and {K-Diamonds} river.

Vonk showed {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, and Peters mucked. Vonk moves up to 6.7 million to Peters' 4.8 million here early in heads-up play.

Advantage Back to Peters

David Peters
David Peters

Marcel Vonk limped, and David Peters checked his option. The flop came {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Peters checked, Vonk bet 100,000, Peters check-raised to 300,000, and Vonk called.

The turn was the {3-Spades}. Peters led for 535,000 this time, and Vonk again called.

The river was the {A-Clubs}. Peters cut out a couple of tall stacks of green (25,000) chips), topped them off with a few more, and pushed out a bet of 1.36 million. Vonk tanked. Perhaps he was remembering that three-barrel bluff hand with Peters from a short while ago as some of us watching did. Finally Vonk made the call.

No bluff this time, as Peters tabled {9-Hearts}{2-Spades} for the flopped two pair. Peters retakes the lead, moving to 7.17 million to Vonk's 4.36 million.

Back and Forth!

And that's it! Pot for Peters, Pot for Vonk...

In the last one they played, Peters opened the pot with a 170,000-chip raise and Marcel Vonk popped it to 450,000. Peters called.

The flop ran out {2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and first to speak, Vonk fired a 600,000-chip bet. Peters eventually folded and is still in the lead.

Heads-Up Play Continues

On the second hand back from the break, David Peters opened with a raise to 185,000 from the small blind/button, and Marcel Vonk called. The flop came {J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Vonk checked, Peters bet 220,000, Vonk check-raised to 600,000, and Peters folded.

On the next one, Vonk opened with a raise to 230,000, Peters repopped it to 605,000, and Vonk called. The flop came {9-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Peters bet 610,000, and Vonk took about a minute before letting his hand go.

After these early skirmishes, the pair are about where they were at the break, with Peters at 7.25 million and Vonk at 4.28 million.
