Seat 6: David Peters (251,500)
David Peters may not be that well known of a face in the live poker realm, but he has plenty of accolades on his resume to prove that he��s one of the game��s brightest young stars.
Hailing from Toledo, Ohio, Peters holds some big live titles. In April of 2008, he won a WSOP Circuit gold ring after he took down the $1,060 No-Limit Hold��em event at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. That win was worth $86,908. Later that same year, Peters won a Heartland Poker Tour event in Michigan for $130,178 and a Festa al Lago event for $63,295. In 2009, he went back to the Festa al Lago series and won another event for $104,760.
In other live results, Peters cashed three times at the 2010 WSOP to put his total WSOP cashes at seven. One of those in-the-money finishes this year was a second place in a $1,000 No-Limit Hold��em event for a cool $350,803. His final cash came in the Main Event, where he took 136th place for nearly $60,000 to cap off a very solid summer.
Peters is also known very well for his play online, where he plays under the names ��dpeters17�� and ��Davidp18�� mainly. Peters has well over $2 million in online winnings and has become one of the most respected players on the virtual felt. A lot of the young players know his face when they see it, but to much of these older, live veterans of the game he��s just another young, aggressive online kid with a dream.
Although Peters couldn��t get pass the one last person he needed to in order to claim a bracelet this year, he has a great shot at wrapping some gold around his wrist here in London. He comes into the final table of the first event with 251,500 chips and sits in fourth position of the remaining six.
