Pelton Fights Back
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Chan Pelton has seen a number of players three-bet his opens in the early going, and he had it happen once again after he raised from under the gun when Nick Yunis made it 1,500 to go. Pelton came with a four-bet to an unknown amount, which Yunis called, and the two saw a 
flop. Pelton bet 2,900 and Yunis called. On the 
turn, Pelton moved all in and the dealer couldn't even bring the bet in before Yunis folded.
Pelton has been on a tear on the HPT with three final tables in the past year, including a win.
