Sem Peeters was seen walking around in the tournament area and he didn't look like he had any chips left. Peeters got his money in the middle with pocket jacks on a six-five-three board with two diamonds. His opponent was playing king-jack of diamonds but it was not a diamond that sent Peeters home.
The turn was a king and the river didn't help Peeters to the victory.
Brandon Carl sat in middle position as he saw Pascal Martinez open the action from early position with a raise to 13,500. Carl three-bet to 36,000 and when the action was back on Martinez he four-bet all in. The American wanted a count and he called as soon as he heard the all-in was for 144,000.
