Nat KOs Weaver; Persky Dodges a Bullet

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After some preflop shenanigans, Jason Weaver and Arish Nat were all in, and Michael Persky was seriously wanting to get his stack in as well.

He ultimately decided to let it go and the other two players tabled their cards, with Weaver at risk.

Jason Weaver: KQAll in
Arish Nat: KK

Weaver was drawing pretty thin to Nat's kings, and the flop of 3K8 left him stone dead as Nat made top set.

The runout of 89 was purely ceremonial as the pot was pushed to Nat while Weaver exited.

"Wow! I had 78! You would have gotten my whole stack!" Persky patted himself on the back for folding his hand, as he surely would have been right behind Weaver had he seen a flop.

Liu Takes it on Turn...Eventually

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a heads-up flop of 622, Samuel Rosen led for 6,000 into the pot of 24,500 and the action was then on Shijia Liu. Liu then took thirty seconds to think about this decision and he eventually decided to just call.

On the 10 turn, Rosen checked over to Liu, who then sat for over a minute before he slowly set out out a stack of 13,000, which prompted a timely fold from Rosen to award him the pot.
