Matias Gabrenja Hits Runner-Runner Flush to Double through Todd Peterson

On the first hand of the day, Matias Gabrenja opens to 60,000 (leaving just a few chips behind) and action folds to Todd Peterson who moves all in for 120,000. 

The rest of the table quickly gets out of the way and Gabrenja waits for his timer to tick all the way down before he puts the remainder of his chips into the middle.

Todd Peterson:

Gabrenja needs a lot of help to stay alive against Peterson’s jacks, and he sure gets it as the board of gives him the runner-runner nut flush to double. 

Meanwhile, Peterson stares blankly at the board while the pot is pushed to his opponent and he is now the short stack. 

Matias Gabrenja – 158,000 (20 bb)
Todd Peterson – 51,000 (6 bb)
