Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 500 ante

From middle position, Jeremy Ausmus raised to 5,000. Mustapha Kanit reraised from the hijack seat to 11,000, and then play moved over to David Peters on the button. Peter reraised and made it 21,700 to go with about 75,000 behind. Ausmus took some time to think, then reraised all in for 64,600.

Action then fell back on Kanit, and he went into the tank for a couple of minutes. Eventually, Kanit folded, and it was Peters' turn to tank. Peters requested the 21,700 amounts be pulled in so he could see the difference in the shove amount from Ausmus and try to calculate his odds. Peters looked a bit pained by the decision, and it took him several minutes to come to a conclusion. All the while, Ausmus sat motionless.

In the end, Peters folded his hand, and Ausmus won the pot, moving to over 100,000 without having to even see a flop.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mustapha Kanit	248,000 -29,600	-29,600

Jeremy Ausmus	103,000 1,800	1,800

David Peters	75,000 20,200	20,200
