Peters' New Stack of Chips Falls to Pieces with Aces
Level 12
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
After just being on the right side of a cooler against Daniel Negreanu, David Peters was looking to become one of the chip leaders just moments later.
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Peters three-bet to 320,000 on the button. Martin Kabrhel flat-called from the big blind only to have Ponakovs four-bet shove all in. Peters thought for a brief moment before calling off his stack of around 2,800,000. Kabrhel folded and the remaining two hands were tabled.
David Peters: 
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 
Peters was in great shape to score another big double up but the flop of 
gave Ponakovs a few outs to a straight. The 
paired the board on the turn but the 
on the river was exactly what Ponakovs was looking for.
