Andre Peters Eliminated in 10th Place (PHP385,000)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Andre Peters

A brutal cooler of a hand saw the dealer take the deck straight out of the freezer and deal Germany’s Andre Peter’s an ice-cold hand. Pre-flop it was Michael ‘The Terminator’ Falcon the man wielding the pruning shears once more, popping the action up to 125,000 from the cutoff and the action folded around to Peters in the big blind.

The German player took his time over his decision but eventually pulled the trigger for another 790,000 more than Falcon’s initial raise, moving all-in for 915,000 in total.

Falcon asked for a count and decided to roll the dice, slapping down a tower of red 25k chips to represent the call and the cards were turned over.

Andre Peters: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Michael Falcon: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Peters looked to be in great shape for a double up with the dominating hand and maintained his lead on the {10-Hearts}{a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop. Both players were on their feet and the {2-Clubs} turn changed nothing. The tension was palpable and while he held the lead Peters did not look comfortable, and paced agitatedly with his hands atop his head.

The dealer burned and turned and the river was the shiny black {6-Spades} to give Falcon a set of sixes and crush Peters dreams of a final table appearance in one of the cruellest ways imaginable. The German player looked visibly crushed when Falcon came over to shake his hand and departed in 10th place for the equivalent of $7,640 while Falcon regained the chip lead and stacked up to 6.1 million.

Play is currently paused for a re-draw.
