Peter Linton Eliminated in 9th Place ($9,596)

Congratulations to Peter Linton from the United Kingdom who finished ninth in our DeepStack Championship Event #24 $1,100 NLH Summer Kick Off $400K GTD winning $9,596.

Linton moved all in for 260,000 from middle position and was called by Julien Sitbon on the button. Sean Dunwoodie then moved all in over the top from the big blind. The bet was enough to see Sitbon muck his hand.

Dunwoodie showed pocket queens which had Linton’s A-8 well covered.

No improvement came for Linton resulting in him being the first player to be eliminated from the final table.
