Peters Four-bet Folds

Milko van Winden

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

Tobias Peters raised from late position to 1,000 and Mark Radoja three-bet from the button to 3,000. When the action was back on Peters he opted to go for the four-bet and put a stack worth 8,400 in the middle. Radoja asked how much Peters had behind and the Dutchman removed his arm to show Radoja.

Radoja then continued to count his own stack and he ended up moving all in, covering Peters. Peters folded and the pot went to Radoja.
