A player in the cutoff raised before facing a three-bet from Nick Kost in the small blind. Kevin Petersen put in the four-bet from the big blind, causing the cutoff to fold before Kost tossed in the call.

The flop came K♥2♣8♠ and Kost check-called a bet from Petersen before seeing the 7♥ turn.

Kost checked once more and Petersen bet the last of his chips. Kost called to put Petersen at risk as the two players headed to the river with their cards face up.

Kevin Petersen: A♦A♥8♥7♠
Nick Kost: A♠J♣10♠8♣

Petersen needed to fade a few outs for a double but the 10♦ river gave Kost two pair and sent Petersen to the rail in 17th place for $9,202.
