Persent Eliminated by Nortje
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Marko Nortje raised to 7,000 and Jon Persent defended the big blind to a flop of 7♦5♥2♣ with some 75,000 behind, with the stack sizes displayed wrong for the Norwegian on the stream table. Persent check-raised to 21,000 and then called all-in.
Jon Persent: K♥7♥
Marko Nortje: 7♣6♦
The 7♠ turn gave both players trips and the 6♠ river was a sucker punch for Persent, as Nortje spiked the three-outer for a full house.
