Peltecki Doubles Through Brussianos

Rob Peltekci
Rob Peltekci

Just before the break, action folded around Elias Brussianos on the button and he raised to 6,800 on the button. Rob Peltekci re-raised to 23,000 from the small blind and after the big blind folded, Peltekci got his chips ready for a call if Brussianos were to re-raise.

Sure enough, Brussianos re-raised all in and Peltekci went into the tank briefly before calling 90,800 for his tournament life.

Peltekci: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Brussianos: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The flop was {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and left Peltekci in dire straits. However, the {10-Diamonds} hit the turn as Peltekci let out a big "YEAH!!", having locked up the pot. The {9-Diamonds} river card was merely a formality as Peltekci doubled to nearly 190,000.
