Perez Scoops Massive Pot

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player in middle position limped as did a player in late position. Herminio Perez then three-bet to 12,500 from the cutoff and was called by both of his opponents.

Action checked to Perez on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and he continued for 24,000. That bet was not enough to convince either of his opponents to fold, sending action three-way to the turn.

The middle position player took over the betting lead following the {6-Spades} turn, moving all in. Both the late position player and Perez instantly called, with Perez covering the late position player but not the middle position player.

Late Position Player: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Herminio Perez: {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Middle Position Player: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Perez was in the lead with his straight but would need to fade an eight, king or diamond heading to the river. He was able to do just that after the {j-Clubs} rolled off the deck, sending massive pile of chips in his direction while the middle position player collected a meagre sidepot.
