Perez Rives a Straight, Knocks Out Blumenthal in 22nd Place
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ryan Perez just left Eddie Blumenthal with the wind knocked out of him, and all his chips too.
The board read 
and Perez checked to Blumenthal. Blumenthal shoved all in for 270,000 more into the pot of 200,000.
Perez called and showed 
for a straight. Blumenthal couldn't believe it he flopped a set of nines 
and was now out of the tournament.
Perez just barely edged out John Kurfman for the current chip lead.
