Richard Ptasnik limped in from early position, Ofer Peleg raised to 55,000 from the cutoff, Nicholas Avena called from the small blind and Ptasnik called.

The flop came down Jd6c4d, and action checked to Peleg who shoved for 304,000. Avena tanked for about two minutes before he called, and Ptasnik folded.

Peleg showed AsKc, trailing Avena’s 9d9c.

The 7d turn and 3h river completed the board, no help to Peleg, locking up the pot for Avena who is now the chip leader.

Nicholas Avena – 1,100,000 (69 bb)
Ofer Peleg – Eliminated in 15th Place ($977)
