Peeters Up Early

On the very first hand of the day, Peter Peeters opened with a raise to 250, and Filipe Pacheco made the call from the hijack seat. The flop came down {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. The betting was checked over to Pacheco, and he bet 425. Peeters called.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts}. Again Peeters checked and let Pacheco put out another 1,125 chips. Peeters put in a check-raise to 3,000, and Pacheco called.

The last card off was the {7-Spades}. Peeters led out with 4,000 chips. Pacheco went into the tank for several minutes, long enough to get the clock called on him. Finally, after about three or four minutes, he called.

Peeters turned over {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}, and his full house is enough to take down a nice early pot.
