Peters wins Poker Masters $100,000 No Limit Hold'em

(PRESS RELEASE) -- After starting out the series by winning the opening event, David Peters added another title to his resume by winning the $100,000 Main Event for $1,150,000 to close out the series. Peters fell just 10 points short of winning the Purple Jacket won by Ali Imsirovic. The Poker Masters comprises of seven high-stakes tournaments ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, including a Pot Limit Omaha and Short Deck event. The player who accumulates the most points using the High Roller Leaderboard will be crowned Poker Masters Champion, taking home the Purple Jacket. “I’m very happy to win this one, I’ve had a great series, and maybe I’ll get the jacket next year,” Peters said after his big win. “Ali deserved to win, he had a great series. It would’ve been nice to win the jacket, the bragging rights and rubbing it in other player’s faces by wearing it to events.” The final day of action started with four players after a grueling battle on the second day of play. The final seven players at last night’s live-streamed feature table were lead by David Peters who had opened up an enormous chip lead. Brandon Adams, still in contention for the Purple Jacket, busted in seventh place to lock down the biggest win of the young career of Ali Imsirovic. After a long stretch of back and forth it was Stephen Chidwick who busted in sixth place. Chidwick first doubled up Dan Smith who picked off his bluff before getting sent to the rail by David Peters. Exiting on the bubble was 2017 Super High Roller Bowl winner Christoph Vogelsang, guaranteeing the final four players a $250,000 payday. The live action on the final day started with Dan Smith and David Peters virtually tied for the chip lead with Koray Aldemir and Bryn Kenney trailing. Kenney was eliminated in fourth place on the 72nd hand of play when his queen-ten was no match for Aldemir’s queen-jack. What ensued was a fierce three-handed battle in which it could’ve gone in either player’s way. Aldemir doubled up twice through Smith all while remaining to be the short stack with hundreds of big blinds still in play. Eventually, on the 175th hand of play it was Koray Aldemir who busted out in third place for $400,000. Aldemir was all in with ace-nine against David Peters’ pocket jacks and found no help on the board. The heads-up battle started near even in chips, and after a back-and-forth battle it was Dan Smith who busted out in second place for $700,000. Smith was all in and at risk with ace-seven versus David Peters’ king-seven and a king on the turn gave Peters the win. pokerbonus.win
