Peguero Cracks Wilson's Kings

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jean Peguero
Jean Peguero

The under the gun player raised to 5,000 and Jean Peguero re-raised to 16,000 from the hijack. With the action on John Wilson in the cutoff he slid out a stack of 40,000.

It folded back to Peguero who put his last 38,000 in the pot and the hands were shown.

Jean Peguero: {j-Spades}{j-Spades}
John Wilson: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The dealer fanned the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop and Peguero picked up an open ended straight draw. Peguero improved to a straight when the {7-Clubs} hit the turn leaving Wilson drawing only to a chopped pot.

The {a-Diamonds} river card sealed the deal fro Peguero to earn him the pot and the double up.
