Peters' Main Event Story Reaches a Sad End
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Donnie Peters has told many Main Event stories in his long career as a poker journalist, but his own just hit an unhappy conclusion.
Mitchell Hynam had opened to 120,000 under the gun before Peters three-bet to 360,000 in middle position. Hynam came back with a four-bet to 900,000 and Peters moved all in for 2,125,000. Hynam took a minute before calling.
Donnie Peters: K♠K♦ 
Mitchell Hynam: A♠Q♥
Peters was ahead with his kings and poised for the double up until the flop brought A♥J♠8♦, giving Hynam top pair. The rest of the board ran out 9♥4♣ and Peters was sent to the rail.
