Perkins Busts to Rajkumar

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Bill Perkins eliminated
Bill Perkins eliminated

From the cutoff seat, Vivek Rajkumar raised to 4,500. Bill Perkins reraised to 16,000 from the small blind and Rajumar made the call.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Perkins moved all in for approximately 100,000. Rajkumar made the call. He held the {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a set of eights. "Oh no," said Perkins, tabling the {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. Even though he was worried when he saw Rajkumar's set, Perkins still had a decent chance to win this one with his spade draw.

The turn brought the {K-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Hearts}. Neither provided the help Perkins needed and he was sent to the rail. Rajkumar joined tablemate Nick Schulman in the 500,000 club and the two are leading the way.
