Perkins Eliminated by WSOP Champ McKeehen

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Bill Perkins - eliminated
Bill Perkins - eliminated

From under the gun, Joe McKeehen, winner of the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event for $7,683,346, raised to 3,000. Bill Perkins called from the next seat, and then play folded over to Sam Greenwood on the button. Greenwood reraised to 12,000, the two blinds folded, McKeehen called, and Perkins called.

With three players in action, the flop fell {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. McKeehen and Perkins checked, and Greenwood bet 16,400. After McKeehen made the call, Perkins check-raised all in for around 110,000-115,000. Greenwood quickly folded, but McKeehen quickly called.

McKeehen rolled over the {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for top pair and a flush draw. Perkins didn't like what he saw and sheepishly turned over the {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

"How about a red five?" cried Perkins. "Give me a red five!"

The dealer did not deliver a red five, and the turn was the {A-Spades} and the river the {J-Diamonds}. That kept McKeehen's hand best, and he had Perkins covered, which meant the first elimination of the day.
