P(e)eling His Opponents
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Tyler Rueger opened the action under the gun with a raise to 6,000. Zephyr Peling, in the small blind, three-bet to 21,500, which Rueger called.
On the 3♣5♠10♦ flop, Peling led with a bet of 14,000, and Rueger called.
The 10♣ on the turn prompted Peling to go all in, covering his opponent. Rueger agonized over his tournament life at risk but ultimately made the call.
Tyler Rueger: 8♣8♦
Zephyr Peling: A♦K♣
Rueger was ahead, but his hopes were dashed when the dealer revealed the K♥ on the river, sending him to the rail.
