Level 18
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
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.
Chance Kornuth: 
David Peters: 
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.
