Perner Climbing

Mickey Doft

Bernhard Perner is making a push to be the overnight chip leader, upping his stack to 246,000 after this hand.

A player in middle position raised to 2,500 and Perner popped it to 5,100 in the cutoff. Action folded around to the original raiser and he went all in for 26,000. Perner called immediately with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

and had his opponent's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

in bad shape.

The board ran out {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{6-Spades}

and Perner took it down with a set of kings.
