Peters Hoped to Chop But Got the "W" Instead

Chad Holloway

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

At the feature table, David Peters raised to 800,000 from the button with the A♣2♦ and left himself just 5,000 behind. Bojan Gledovic called from the small blind with the A♠7♠ and the big blind folded to bring about a flop of 6♠8♥K♥.

Gledovic tossed in 5,000 and Peters called off. Peters was dominated but the 10♦ turn made it about a 50/50 proposition that he would chop on the river.

The 2♠ wasn't a chop card, but it was even better as Peters actually paired up to score the improbably double.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 200,000 from under the gun and Gregor Kampmann three-bet jammed for 940,000 on the button. Action folded back to Badziakouski who deliberated and called.

Gregor Kampmann: 9♠9♦
Mikita Badziakouski: A♠5♠

The J♣8♥3♦ flop kept the nines ahead, but the A♦ hit the felt on the turn to vault Badziakouski in front. Kampmann needed a two-outer to survive, but the 7♥ river bricked out and he was eliminated.
