This hand was picked up on the flop of 810J with approximately 17,000 in the middle.

Alex Kuyumjian also opted to check on the button to bring the 5 turn. Perry fired 6,000 on fourth street, which led to a fold from Johnson. Kuyumjian made the call.

The A river led to another bet from Perry; this time, the wager was 15,000. Kuyumjian took some time before he made the call to go to a showdown.

Perry showed KJ for a pair of jacks. Kuyumjian revealed that a pair was no good when he tabled A7.
