Jeffery checked, and the turn brought 4♥, improving Peters to a full house while Jeffery had a trip. Jeffery checked the turn, and Peters made a large bet. Jeffery called the overbet on the river 9♠, leaving him with 10 BB. In the final hand, Peters went all-in with A♥-8♣, and Jeffery called with K♠-2♣. Peters held his ground, catching a pair of eights, and secured his championship.
