David Peters found himself all in preflop with QQ. Unfortunately for him, his opponent was holding AA.
The board ran out K52JK and Peters was shown the door early on day two.
Humberto Brenes Eliminated
A hand after being knocked down to his last 5,000 in chips, Humberto Brenes was all in holding AJ.
