Peters Put to the Test

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

David Peters may be the Global Poker Index number one from 2016, but it is a brand new year and his number one spot is there to be taken by anyone. Cristian-Andrei Folescu and Peters were already at the turn of what was clearly a big pot by the time we arrived to see the board showing {J-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

When the 28,000 in the pot was added to by a sensational all-in to the tune of 75,200 by Folescu, Peters was put to the ultimate test - his entire remaining stack of 55,000. What would be a chip-leading pot if Peters called turned out not to be, as the American let the hand go, but that gives Folescu around 100,000 going into the final level of the day.
