Persent Knocks Out Laufersweiler with Nine-High

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With 54,000 in the middle and a board of {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Cristiano Blanco bet 21,000 from middle position. Jon Persent called from the button, but Peter Lauftersweiler moved all-in for 155,000 from the big blind.

Blanco tanked before releasing his hand. Persent reviewed his stack and cut out calling chips.

Peter Lauftersweiler: {4-Spades}{5-Spades}
Jon Persent: {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Persent was ahead with his 9-high but Lauftersweiler had plenty of outs with his open ended straight flush draw. The final two streets came {q-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and Lauftersweiler was eliminated by Persent's nine-high.
