Persky Scores a Knockout
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 12: Blinds 2,000/4,000
A player limped from early position before a player on the button moved all-in. Tony Wasaya completed the small blind and two-time WSOP Circuit Main Event winner Michael Persky checked his option.
The 9♥8♥2♥6♦5♣ board was checked to the river before Persky bet 15,000 and got no callers.
Button: J♣10♠ 
Michael Persky: Q♥7♣
The button flopped open-ended but could not improve as Persky rivered a straight to bring the field to its final 30 players.
