"Four for the sweat!" said Peck, paying homage to sixth-place finisher Dapo Ajayi's ability to predict future cards all afternoon long.
The dealer obliged, bringing the turn . Peck and his rail erupted but Horvath found himself with four gutshot outs to a wheel with one card still to come. The river fell and Horvath was officially eliminated from the tournament in second place. Meanwhile, Austin Peck has become the newest HPT champion.
