Perry Flips His Coin... and Loses
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action was picked up with cards on their backs with Michael Perry all in and at risk for his last 31,000 and Jeffrey Burquist holding the covering stack.
Michael Perry: 4♠4♥
Jeffrey Burquist: A♦J♣
Before the flop was dealt, Perry held his coin and called heads while tossing it in the air. It landed on tails, signifying the pot would go in the direction of Burquist and the board obliged with the runout of 6♥6♣Q♥7♣Q♦, counterfeiting Perry's pair and eliminating him from the tournament.
