Donnie Peters isn't having the fun day he was hoping for, but at least he's still alive. Peters has been fighting a nasty headache for most of the day, but he just found a way to double up and delay his bedtime some more.
After a raise to 625 Peters decided to move all in for his final 1,750 and his opponent quickly called.
"I'm gonna take a card," Peters' opponent said as he flashed a red jack.
Peters also took a card and we got to see the following showdown.

Eventually he stood pat and opened 
and lost out to .
