Tobias Peters Eliminated in 4th Place ($87,516)

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #147: Chris Bolek was in the small blind and moved all in for 1,760,000. Tobias Peters called from the big blind with his last 1,725,000.

Chris Bolek: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Tobias Peters: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The flop was {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}, putting Peters in a precarious position. The turn sealed his fate when the {j-Spades} fell, clinching the hand for Bolek. The {9-Diamonds} hit on the river and didn't matter as Tobias Peters is our fourth-place finisher after a great run in the tournament.
