Bill Perkins Eliminated in 15th Place ($58,020)

Bill Perkins - 15th Place
Bill Perkins - 15th Place

From under the gun, Terje Augdal raised to 19,000. Action folded all the way around the table to Bill Perkins in the big blind and he reraised to an unknown amount. Augdal moved all in and Perkins snap-called.

"You have a hand?" asked Augdal to Perkins.

"Yes," responded Perkins before tabling the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}. Augdal held a worse pair with the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

The flop came down {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and everything was going just as planned for Perkins so far. The higher powers of the poker gods had other things in mind after the {10-Spades} landed on the turn to put Augdal in front. From there, the river completed the board with the {Q-Clubs} and it was all over.

Augdal had Perkins well covered and it was the end of the line for Perkins. He was eliminated in 15th place for the first cash of his career and collected $58,020.

"It was fun," said Perkins with a cheery smile on his face. He then collected his belongings, wished the table luck and moved to the payout desk.

While you wait for the event to return, check out the latest PokerNews Weekly featuring our very own Kristy Arnett and Sarah Grant.

Fierro Wins Massive Pot Ten Minutes Into Dinner Break

Nicolas Fierro wins a massive pot.
Nicolas Fierro wins a massive pot.

The dealer started the pitch just barely before the tournament clock read 00:00 for Level 17, and the action folded to Nicolas Fierro who opened to 17,000 in the hijack seat. Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel three-bet to 38,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Fierro who tank-called.

The dealer fanned {3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and Fierro checked. The 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion continued for 43,000, and after tanking for a few minutes, Fierro called.

Every player at the table stayed to watch, including Leonid Bilokur, who left for a bit then returned for the conclusion of the hand. They all sat at the table, stood next to their chair, or leaned against the rail in silence.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}, and Fierro checked a second time. Duhamel reached for a stack of blue T5,000 chips, took three chips off of the top, and slid 85,000 forward. Fierro sat silently for over five minutes, then made the call.

The {8-Clubs} completed the board, and Fierro checked a third time. Duhamel stared him down with great intensity, then finally reached for another stack of blue chips and fired a third bullet worth 110,000. Fierro tanked for longer than he had on the flop and turn combined. Duhamel kept his eyes on Fierro as he sat in thought, and after a good five-to-six minutes, Fierro raised to 260,000.

Duhamel let out a long sigh. He shifted in his chair, and you could see the wheels turning in his head. Finally, after a minute or two, he slid a stack of chips forward, signifying a call.

Fierro turned over {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a full house, and Duhamel angrily flicked his cards into the muck. Fierro raked in the monster pot, pushing his stack over a million chips, while Duhamel exited the tournament area for break.

Isaac Haxton raised from middle position to 20,000 and Govert Metaal flat-called in the hijack seat. Action then folded to Kunimaro Kojo in the small blind and he reraised all in for approximately 165,000. Haxton folded, but Metaal called.

Metaal rolled over the {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and was in a flip with the at-risk Kojo's {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board stayed clean for Metaal as the {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs} was run out and Kojo was eliminated. Metaal moved to over 600,000 in chips.

The action folded to Leonid Vichman, who raised to 25,000 out of the small blind. Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel defended his big blind, and the two took a flop of {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. Vichman led for 37,000, and Duhamel called.

Both players checked on the turn ({7-Diamonds}), and the river ({4-Spades}), and Vichman tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. Duhamel turned over {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for kings and nines, and took down the pot.
