Perkins Flops Nuts, Loses to Runner-Runner Boat

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Brad Perkins
Brad Perkins

We heard a loud roar across the room and ran over to see a large pile of chips being pushed to Xiaohu Chen, who had the {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} sitting in front of him. At the other end of the table was (former) chip leader Brad Perkins, who had tabled {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.

The board? {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

We learned that Perkins had shoved all in on the flop, and Chen tanked for five minutes, had the clock called on him, and announced a call with time running out. He then went runner-runner for a full house to clip Perkins and stay alive in the Main Event.
