Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We walked up to the table just as Antonio Esfandiari went all-in for 20,200 of his remaining chips. David Peters, two seats to the left, also announced, "All in," after a short tank. The rest of the players folded, and Esfandiari showed , while Peters tabled .

The board came , hitting a queen for Peters and coming up short for Esfandiari. After an apparent downswing, Peters is now sitting at a healthy stack of around 60,000 in chips.
