Schmidtknecht Picks Off Peterson, Sends Him To the Rail
Nathan Peterson was on the button and saw action folded to him. He raised to 3,000 and was three-bet to 8,200 by Daniel Schmidtknecht, who was in the big blind. Peterson called.
The flop came 
and Schmidtknecht made a continuation-bet of 8,000. Peterson thought for about 30 seconds and then put his chips into one tall stack that he slid forward to go all in. Schmidtknecht immediately called.
"I have a ten," said Peterson, tabling 
.
Schmidtknecht showed 
for top pair, top kicker to put him way out in front of Peterson's second pair.
The turn 
and river 
left Peterson's tens second-best to Schmidtknecht's aces up, resulting in his departure from the tournament as Schmidtknecht finds himself with over 100,000 in chips, becoming the only player currently with a six-figure stack.
