Steicke Folds a Winner

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
David Steicke folds.
David Steicke folds.

David Steicke raised to 22,000 under the gun holding the {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and was met by a three-bet to 42,000 by Connor Drinan, who held the {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} in the hijack. Action folded back to Steicke, who opted to just call.

Steicke then check-called a bet of 30,000 on the {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop, the dealer burned and turned the {9-Hearts}, and Steicke checked. Drinan moved all in and Steicke, who only had 88,000 back, released his hand.

Peters Doubles Up

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to Fedor Holz {J-}{8-} on the button and he made it 20,000. David Peters called from the big blind with {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and the flop came {J-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}.

Peters checked with his flopped flush draw. Holz bet 10,000 and Peters shoved all in for 43,000. Holz reluctantly made the call with his pair of jacks.

The {2-Diamonds} on the turn was a blank but the {9-Clubs} on the river sure wasn't! Another double up for Peters.

David Peters Eliminated

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
David Peters
David Peters

Action folded to Fedor Holz on the button and he opened to 28,000 with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Jason Mercier folded his small blind but David Peters in the big blind shoved all in for 148,000 with {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

Peters knew soon enough he was in trouble as Holz called immediately.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and by the time the {3-Clubs} hit the turn it was all done for Peters. He had no way of improving anymore and made his exit, leaving the tournament room with hanging shoulders.

Down to 8 players, 2 to the money.
