Perry Doubles Thanks to Pu's Fold
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Kahle Burns made it 90,000 from early position and Weiran Pu called in the small blind with 9♠9♥. John Perry shoved from the big blind for 245,000, and Burns called. Pu then folded his nines.
John Perry: 6♦6♣ 
Kahle Burns: 5♣5♠
Pu told the table that he folded pocket nines and they seemed shocked by that decision. Perry, who wasn't so mad about it, earned a double-up in an unorthodox way as he ended the hand with six-high on an 8♣J♥J♠4♥8♠ runout.
