We\u2019re only two days into the 2018 Poker Masters tournament, and David Peters is already nearly $200 000 richer<\/a>. Placing first in the $10 000 No Limit Hold \u2018Em event, he beat out other talented pros like Cord Garcia and Brandon Adams for the impressive prize.<\/p>\n

The Poker Masters tournament is aimed at attracting the best of the best, so it\u2019s no surprise that there are some huge buy-ins available. Buy-ins range from $10 000 to $100 000, and the world\u2019s most talented players take part with Daniel Negreanu and Phil Helmuth<\/a> among the runners.<\/p>\n

An Exciting Final Table<\/h2>\n

Peters started at the final table as the player with the third-highest chip count, but it wasn\u2019t long before he made his way to the top. Shortly after sitting down, he doubled up through Rainer Kemper with JJ > 88. Peters then went on to take out Cord Garcia when his A2hh beat out his opponent\u2019s pocket 8s.<\/p>\n

His next victim was the overnight chip leader, Brandon Adams with Peters holding QdJh against Adams\u2019 KcJd. He hit a flush, and Adams was out of the game. Next was Rainer Kempe with pocket 8s, against Peters\u2019 deuces. Once again, Peters hit the flush and knocked out his competitor.<\/p>\n

Going heads up, Peters had 76 big blinds versus Brian Green\u2019s 10 big blinds. While you might think that it would be easy for Peters to take it down from this position, Green was able to hold on for quite a while, even tripling his stack. However, pocket 8s would decide his fate, as Green went all-in against Peters\u2019 pair of kings.<\/p>\n

In the end, David Peters received a generous payout worth $193 200. The payouts for the remaining players at the final table are as follows:<\/p>\n
