David Peters Eliminated in 19th Place ($49,188); Yuri Dzivielevski Eliminated in 18th Place ($52,090)

Level 30 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Peters ad Dzivielevski Eliminated
Peters ad Dzivielevski Eliminated

David Peters fired three barrels and bet the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop for 56,000, the {3-Clubs} turn for 252,000 and the {a-Clubs} river for 1,067,500. Michael Zhang check-called all the way and his {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} made a flush to leave Peters' {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} with fumes.

Peters was forced all-in the next hand and a lengthy side pot emerged. On the rail end of that, Zhang defended the big blind and check-called the shove by Yuri Dzivielevski on the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs} river. Peters tabled the {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Dzivielevski held {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a busted flush draw and Zhang had the best of it with {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to eliminate two opponents.
