Level 22
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Hand #197: Dan Smith limped the button holding 
and David Peters shoved his big blind holding 
and Smith folded.
Hand #198: From the button, David Peters shoved all in for 3,780,000, and Dan Smith quickly called for his 1,140,000 total from the big blind.
Peters: 
Smith: 
Smith was at-risk, but in dominating shape, and when the 
flop fell, Smith furthered his advantage in the hand.
Unfortunately for Smith, the dealer burned and turned the 
on the turn to shift the advantage to Peters, and when the 
completed the board on the river, Smith was eliminated in 2nd place for a $700,000 payday.
For Peters, he would collect the $1,150,000 first prize, and his second 2018 Poker Masters title for the series.
