Sarvesh Pershad
Sarvesh Pershad
Sarvesh Pershad is out. In a limped pot, he called an all-in to his leading bet of 10,500 on a 9-5-7 flop with J-9, his opponent Rory Monahan revealing T-8 for the open ended straight draw. The jack on the turn gave Pershad two pair, but his nemesis the straight, which stood up come the queen river.

Down to 1,000, Pershad was eliminated in the blinds the very next hand to leave Garrett Beckman and Rory Monaham to charge head first into their long awaited heads-up duel.
