David Peters opened to 460,000 on the button and Chance Kornuth three-bet to 1,800,000 out of the big blind. Peters responded with a four-bet to 3,900,000 only to see Kornuth move all in for 12,000,000. Peters snapped it off to put Kornuth at risk.

Peters was in prime position to eliminate Kornuth and capture the gold bracelet but the flop did give Kornuth an open ended straight draw. The turn and river brought no further help to the start of Day 3 chipleader, however, forcing him to settle for 2nd place and a $721,144 consolation prize.
Peters, meanwhile, walks away with $1,166,810 and his fourth WSOP bracelet.
In one of the fastest final tables in World Series of Poker (WSOP) history, David Peters defeated Chance Kornuth heads up to claim his fourth gold bracelet and a $1,166,810 first-place prize in the 2022 WSOP Event #2: $100,000 High Roller Bounty. Kornuth, who began the final table as chip leader and was fresh off capturing his first World Poker Tour (WPT) title less than two weeks ago, earned $721,144 for his runner-up finish.
It took just 26 hands and a little over an hour to whittle the final five players down to a winner, with heads-up play lasting under ten minutes.
The win moved Peters up to $40,165,579 in lifetime tournament earnings according to The Hendon Mob, which saw him pass Erik Seidel to move into fifth place on poker's all-time money list.

Winner’s Reaction
After his victory, which was live-streamed on PokerGO, the now four-time bracelet winner was asked of the significance of the win.
“It feels great, especially the first event of the series, first event being away from the Rio, it’s such a prestigious tournament, so many great players," he said. "Getting number four is big. There are not too many people who have four. It’s a very, very nice start to the series."
Peters’ win comes with a bit of extra significance, as while it was a quick heads-up match, it came against one of the hottest players in poker in Kornuth.
“It’s always nice to beat someone that’s hot, and someone that’s a great player. It wasn’t exactly a super long battle heads-up, but it was nice to beat a player like that for sure.”
More bracelets and the WSOP Player of the Year race are also on Peters' radar as he says he’ll be firing plenty more events this summer in search of more WSOP glory.

Final Table Action
The tone for the blazing fast final table was set on the first hand as Kornuth eliminated reigning WSOP Main Event champ Koray Aldemir when the latter’s king-high couldn’t hold against Kornuth’s jack-high.
Less than ten minutes later, Ali Imsirovic was the next player out the door as his king-queen smashed into Peters' aces and sent him away in fourth place.
That set up the lightning-quick heads-up match which lasted just a couple of hands despite each player beginning play with over 100 big blinds. It was a quick pair-over-pair confrontation leading to all the chips going in the middle with Peters’ kings holding against Kornuth’s eights to give him the victory.
This concludes our coverage of Event #2: $100,000 High Roller Bounty No-Limit Hold’em. Congratulations to David Peters on the victory and collecting his fourth gold bracelet.
