Will Givens raised from under the gun and David Peters defended his big blind.

The flop was Ad9d3c and Peters checked. Givens bet 30,000 and Peters called. The turn was the Ks and Peters checked again. Givens bet 50,000 and Peters called.

The river was the Jd and Peters checked for a third time. Givens moved all in for effectively Peters’ remaining 228,000. Peters thought for several minutes before calling.

Givens tapped the table, indicating Peters made a good call, and showed 6s5s. Peters showed KdQh and won the pot with a pair of kings.

“I think you’re the only player that makes that call,” said Givens after the hand. “What a beastly call.”

Peters took the pot without saying a word and moved into the chip lead.

David Peters – 670,000
Will Givens – 50,000
