Peters Doubles as the Bubble Looms
Level 17
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jeremy Pekarek raised to 11,000 from the hijack only to see David Peters commit his last 85,000 to the pot from the button. The blinds got out of the way and with action back on Pekarek, he paused to double-check his cards. Eventually, he decided to flick in a call to put Peters at risk and headed to a runout.
David Peters: J♠J♣
Jeremy Pekarek: K♥Q♥
The 4♦J♥10♣ flop kept Peters way out in front but gave Jeremy Pekarek an open-ended straight draw and backdoor hearts to go with it. When the 4♥ landed on the turn giving Peters a full house, the 9♥ river became meaningless as Pekarek sent a full double to Peters just a few spots from the money.
