Perry Drills the River to Survive
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
In a limped pot, the flop read 7♦4♣3♣ as the blinds checked to Mike Perry from under the gun who jammed for his 46,000 stack. The small blind then rejammed for 107,000, and the big blind folded after some deliberation.
Mike Perry: A♣5♥
Small Blind: 4♠4♥
Perry had a double gutter against the middle set of his opponent, who was in good shape to score the knockout.
The A♥ turn changed nothing, but it was the 6♦ that landed on the river to complete Perry's straight as a frustrated opponent doubling chips to Perry.
