Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
David Peters has already enjoyed a decorated career in the high-stakes poker world. Coming into today, he was nearing $50 million in live tournament earnings, along with four WSOP gold bracelets. However, the love of competition has driven Peters to continue to show up, and today was a reminder that he still has what it takes to battle at the highest level.
A total of 558 entries were tallied for Event #94: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship to generate a prize pool of $5,189,400. The final 85 players made the money, but three days of action was still not enough to crown a champion.
Overtime was required as four players came back today to play down to a winner. The stacks were fairly deep to begin play, but it would take just 75 minutes for Peters to take down the title, winning his fifth bracelet along with the first-place prize of $1,001,391.
After a frustrating summer for the Ohio native, Peters was able to to find the light at the end of the tunnel, winning one of the most prestigious Hold'em tournaments of the summer in a dominating performance, and he did so just a few months after facing some adversity and criticism following accusations of unpaid debts owed to Dylan Linde.

Winner's Reaction
Peters had not found the same success at the 2026 World Series of Poker that he is accustomed to having. Albeit playing a slightly smaller schedule than normal, he had notched six cashes coming into this tournament, but was yet to make a truly deep run.
"My summer has been a lot of building big stacks, making runs, and just kind of falling short. It's been very disappointing up to this point, so to win basically the last tournament is pretty amazing," a relieved Peters admitted to PokerNews.
Nonetheless, Peters remained confident in his abilities, and still felt motivated to show up and battle after many years of playing the highest stakes.
"I enjoy all of it. Part of the reason you play is for money, but another part is the competition," the champion explained. "I obviously want to keep getting more bracelets."
Peters joins an elite group of five-time WSOP champions, adding his name to a list that includes legends of the game like Eli Elezra, Scotty Nguyen, and Stu Ungar.
"I enjoy playing against the best. I enjoy playing these big final tables and just being in these spots. It is a lot of fun for me."
The tournament ended in abrupt fashion, with all three eliminations of the day occurring within the span of 15 minutes.
"I won the big pot against Cal [to eliminate Anderson in third]," Peters added, "Then the first hand [of heads-up], we are still stacking chips and getting organized. I blink and we’re all-in playing for a bracelet."
"Pretty wild emotional rollercoaster at the end."
The newly-minted five-time bracelet winner was quick to give a shoutout to his fiancé, Hayley, who had been on the rail supporting from the first hand of the day, along with his parents and brothers who were sweating from back home.
Peters also admitted that he was looking forward to some chill time at home after an exhausting summer. He had some tentative travel plans for after the summer, but a two-year-old son at home complicates the situation. However, Peters doesn't mind as he finds motivation to play his best through his son.
Day 4 Action
Around 2 a.m. the previous night, play was paused was four players remaining, and they would return to the Horseshoe Events Center this afternoon for an overtime Day 4. The four remaining players were relatively close in chips, with Fahredin Mustafov leading the pack.
Peters won a few early pots to overtake the chip lead from Mustafov, while Dominykas Mikolaitis doubled through Mustafov twice in short succession.
However, Mustafov would eventually get the better of Mikolaitis, who jammed pocket sevens against Mustafov's jacks. Mikolaitis was left with a single T-25,000 chip after failing to improve, and he was eliminated two hands later by Peters to become the first casualty of the day after an hour of play.
Three-handed play would continue for just a couple orbits before Calvin Anderson and Peters collided. Anderson opened on the button and Peters three-bet from the small blind. Anderson then four-bet jammed pocket deuces for around 30 big blinds, and Peters called with pocket nines. Anderson found no improvement, and he fell just short of capturing his third bracelet of the summer.
Peters held over a three-to-one chip lead to begin the heads-up match, which lasted just a single hand. Mustafov limped on the button with pocket fives off 26 big blinds, and Peters jammed from the big blind with ace-seven. Mustafov snap-called, but Peters found a seven on the flop and held to eliminate Mustafov in just one hand.
The two shared a sporting handshake as Peters made quick work of his final three opponents, and he was able to celebrate a fifth WSOP victory and his 13th seven-figure score with his fiancé.

Daniel Negreanu will wrap up his most profitable World Series of Poker in years on Wednesday, and he'll finish the summer in contention for WSOP Player of the Year.
The GGPoker ambassador came into the series having played minimal poker since the WSOP Paradise series in December. But he didn't show any rust and not only won his second bracelet in three years, he reached four final tables and still has a chance at one more in the $25,000 High Roller H.O.R.S.E. event.
Negreanu bagged an above-average stack Monday on Day 1 and will return to action at 1 p.m. PT for Day 2. It could be his final shot at another deep run at what has been a successful 2026 WSOP for the Poker Hall of Famer.
