Near Quadruple Up for Persent
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Sugen Singh was all-in for 20,000 and his suited cards were up against not one or two pocket pairs but three of them.
Sugen Singh: K♥9♥
Jon Persent: A♠A♦
Stephen Courtney: Q♠Q♦
BC Van Rooyen: 10♠10♥
"Let's see if they can hold," Persent said while he was recording with his smart phone. The A♥8♠2♣ flop gave the Norwegian top set and he improved to quads on the A♣ turn to make the 6♠ river a formality. Singh as shortest stack with 20,000 was eliminated while Persent nearly tripled, Courtney won the side pot off Van Rooyen.
