Cooler Favors Persky
Joseph Bergh got it going with an open to 16,000 from early position. Christian Cooper put more chips in the pot when he three-bet to 40,000 from the hijack. Michael Persky took a look at all the action and decided to four-bet all-in for 80,500 from the big blind. Bergh was in the tank for a minute before he got out with a fold, but Cooper quickly put in the call when it got back to him to put Persky at risk.
Michael Persky: A♣A♦
Christian Cooper: K♥K♦
Persky picked up pocket aces at the perfect time as Cooper was victim to a cooler preflop and needed one of the two kings to score the knockout.
The 9♠3♦6♣ flop was dry and in favor of Persky as Cooper had little working for him.
Persky held on the 8♣ turn and the 4♣ river to secure the double-up at an opportune time.
