Peeks Hits the Rail
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Roeland Peeks raised to 40,000 in early position, Zhiyuan Xu three-bet to 110,000 on the button, and Rahul Rastogi cold four-bet shoved in the small blind. Peeks called off the rest of his stack with about 175,000 back to put himself at risk and Xu folded.
Roeland Peeks: Q♣Q♥
Rahul Rastogi: A♠K♥
It was a fair fight, but Rastogi pulled ahead on the A♥8♣8♥ flop, pairing his ace. The 4♣ turn and 10♣ river offered no help to Peeks and he was sent to the payout desk.
