David Peters raised from the cutoff to 28,000, putting out one blue 25K chip and three orange-and-black 1K chips. But Krishna Lawrence misread the bet, thinking the three chips were beige-and-gray 5K chips, and put out 40,000. Since it was more than halfway to a raise, he was forced to make a min-raise to 44,000.

Peters thought for a bit before he moved all in, and Lawrence paused for a moment or two before he called all in for about 275,000 with 10d9d.

But Peters turned over Ac9c, and Lawrence was dominated as he faced elimination.

The flop came Qc10c6d, and Krishna paired his ten to take the lead, but Peters picked up a club flush draw.

The turn card was the 3c, clinching the pot for Peters with an ace-high flush. The meaningless river card was the 8c, and Peters won the pot to eliminate Lawrence in fifth place.
