Peppin Peeks at Kings

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Someone at the table opened the pot with a raise, and Andrew Cohen reraised all in for about 110,000 total. Across the table, Stephen Peppin called all in for his last 76,000, and the initial raiser ducked out of the way to let him fight heads-up for his tournament life.

Showdown
Cohen: {3-Spades} {3-Hearts}
Peppin: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}

Cohen had to sweat a trio of deuces, but the {2-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs} board was ultimately clean and safe. The kings hold, and Peppin has doubled back to about 175,000, knocking Cohen down to just 32,000 little chips.
