Peters Puts Freeze on Tanaka
Shinobu Tanaka has found himself back on his initial 50,000-entry stack after tangling in a hand with David Peters.
Pre-flop it was Peters who opened the action with a raise to 9,000 from the button and a suspicious Tanaka chose to look him up from the big blind to take play heads-up to the flop.
Tanaka checked it over to Peters who led out for an enticing 6,500 c-bet, and the Japanese player decided to see if Peters actually had anything and min-raised to 13,000. It looked like he might have as Peters made the call to bring play to the river.
Tananka checked and after thinking it over for a bit, so did Peters and the hands were turned over. While Tanaka’s had caught a little piece of the flop his bottom pair could not best Peters and the US player froze Tanaka out of the hand and raked in the pot.
