David Peters Eliminated in 10th Place (��54,114)
From the button, David Peters moved all in for his last 340,000. Roland de Wolfe was next door in the small blind, and he made the call with plenty of chips to cover Peters. Big blind (and short stack) Marc Inizan was more than happy to fold out of the way, and de Wolfe had Peters at risk as the cards were turned up.
Showdown
Peters:
De Wolfe:
It was good news for the at-risk Peters, and he was in a good spot to chop the pot at worst. "Be careful," Levi warned, sensing trouble. "He's good at these."
Indeed, that was the best foreshadowing we've seen tonight. The dealer burned a card and dealt three face-down, then flipped them over for the flop. The was sitting right in the window like a diamond-studded sword in Peters' back. The full flop rolled out , vaulting de Wolfe into an improbable lead. Or maybe not so improbable, according to Levi.
The turn was the , and Peters was already standing to gather his things, one card from elimination. There would be no stay of execution; the filled out the board, and it was handshakes all around for the nine survivors.
Peters has had a great run at the WSOPE, making the final table in Event #1. This run deep into the money was his tenth career WSOP cash. His bid for a second final table and potential Main Event glory, however, has fallen just short in the eleventh hour. He's out in 10th place as the final table bubble boy, taking home ��54,114 as a consolation prize, but we'd imagine it's little consolation when it's all said and done.
