David Peters

Action folded to Dan Smith on the button, who made it 500,000, enough to cover both David Peters in the small blind and Cary Katz in the big blind.

Peters called for his last 365,000 and Katz folded. Smith showed 10s4s and needed help against Peters’ 8s8c.

The flop was Jh6s3h kept Peters in the lead and in great shape for a double up on the bubble.

The turn was the Js, however, giving Smith nine more outs with a flush draw. The river was the 5s, which filled Smith’s flush draw and eliminated Peters on the bubble in sixth.

With Peters’ elimination, the final five players are all guaranteed a cash of at least $112,520.

Dan Smith – 1,285,000 (51 bb)
