Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Action was found in a brewing pot on the river in a heads-up pot. The board read 
.
CJ Peake was in the small blind and led for 3,500 into a pot of about 6,000. On the button, his opponent announced, "Raise," and put in 8,000.
Peake thought for about 20 seconds before sliding out his full stack of 24,000 into the middle.
His opponent did not call immediately. He thought for about a minute, shuffled his chips, counted his stack, and considered risking his tournament life after playing only a few hands. Eventually, he did put it in the middle.
CJ Peake showed 
for the flopped straight.
"Of course," said his opponent, who showed 
for top set.
