Level 13 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

David Peters opened-jammed the button for 145,000 and Jesse Lonis called in the big blind.

David Peters: K♦8♠ All in
Jesse Lonis: Q♠7♠

Peters took a commanding lead on the K♣8♥6♣ flop. The board ran out A♣5♠ and he held on to double.

The next hand, Thomas Boivin opened the hijack to 160,000, Peters jammed for 410,000 from the cutoff, and Boivin called.

David Peters: A♦5♦ All in
Thomas Boivin: 10♦10♣

Peters needed some help to survive which he found on the A♣4♦2♦ flop as he made top pair with a steel wheel gutter. The board completed with the K♥A♥ as he found another double to get back in contention.

Level 13 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised to 180,000 in the hijack and David Peters shoved all in for 1,365,000 from the small blind. Alex Foxen also moved all in for 1,215,000 in the big blind and Petrangelo quickly folded.

Alex Foxen: A♣J♠ All in
David Peters: K♣K♦

The flop came J♣10♠7♣ to give Foxen top pair but Peters was still out front with his pair of kings. The 4♣ on the turn made things sweaty and it was the J♦ on the river that improved Foxen to trip jacks, leaving Peters with just a couple of big blinds.

Level 13 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jason Koon limped in early position as the shortest stack at the table and Nick Schulman called in the small blind as Martin Kabrhel checked his option in the big blind.

Schulman and Kabrhel checked on the flop of K♥A♣10♥ and Koon bet 135,000 with just a single 5,000 chip behind. Schulman called. "How can I play against two champions?" Kabrhel said before folding.

Schulman and Koon then checked down the 5♥ turn and 5♠ river as Koon showed K♠7♠ to beat out the 10♣6♣ of Schulman.

A few hands earlier, Kabrhel told Andrew Lichtenberger to apologize to Schulman for making two pair with ace-four against Schulman's better ace. "It would make him happy."

"You know what would make me happy, Martin?" Schulman said without finishing his thought.
