David Peters Eliminated in 7th Place ($70,886)

[user66118]

David Peters was on the button, and he came in with a raise to 80,000. Patrick Smith defended his big blind, and off they went to the flop.

It came {K-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} , and Peters continued out with another 80,000. Smith check-raised big, making it 325,000 straight. Peters responded with an all-in reraise, and Smith quickly called to put him to the test. Peters was at risk, and he was in trouble.

Showdown
Peters: {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Smith: {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts}

Smith had flopped bottom two, and Peters had some work to do to catch up. The turn {7-Diamonds} and river {6-Clubs} were blanks, though, and he's been sent on his way in 7th place. That's good for more than $70,000, and the soft-spoken Peters paced quietly off the stage with his head down.
