Rockets Shoot Down Cowboys
Level 5
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Brandon Steven opened to 12,000 from early position and David Peters three-bet to 33,000 from the cutoff. Steven opted to come back over the top for 107,000 with Peters calling to generate a large pot before the flop.
Peters checked following the 9♥6♠Q♠ flop then snapped off a shove from Steven to put himself at risk.
David Peters: A♠A♥
Brandon Steven: K♠K♦
Peters found himself in excellent position to get the full double and managed to hold on the J♠ turn and A♣ river to get a much better start to the tournament on his second bullet.
