Matthew Peng open-shoved for 1,150,000 from early position, it folded around to Jackob Datashvili in the small blind and he called to put Peng at risk.

Peng: ThTd
Datashvili: AdQc

It was an early race on Day 4 and Peng needed to hold to double. The 6h6c2s flop was safe and he locked up the hand with the Tc turn giving him a full house.

Four Restarts Underway

The last day in the Grand Ballroom is going to be a little busy over the first few hours, especially here in the early afternoon.

Four restarts kicked off at noon, with the WPT RRPO Championship the important game across the hall. The $25K High Roller and $1,100 Triple Stack final tables are playing out side-by-side and the $600 Deep Stack Day 2 field is in the middle of the room.

Throw in four one-day trophy events and we have plenty of action.

We will focus our coverage on the Championship while highlighting the others along the way.
