Peters Goes Runner-Runner to Double

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Donnie Peters
Donnie Peters

From middle position, Michael Cooper opened with a raise to 6,000 and Donnie Peters three-bet shoved all in for his last 14,600. Cooper called and the cards were tabled.

Cooper: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Peters: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

With Peters holding the advantage, the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} would give Cooper the lead with top pair and a flush draw.

Needing one of just two remaining queens to take back the lead, the turn of the {10-Hearts} would open straight outs for Peters, and when the dealer delivered the {J-Clubs} on the river, he would double through to over 31,000 in chips.
