Perry Ticks Upwards

Ralph Perry just took more than 100,000 chips off of Rifat Palevic without a showdown. Palevic opened preflop with a raise from middle position that Perry called out of the small blind. Both players checked when the dealer spread a flop of {A-Hearts}

.

On the turn {J-Diamonds}

, Perry checked again and then called a probing bet of 21,000 from Palevic. The river fell {6-Hearts}

, with Perry checking a third time. Palevic took that third check as an invitation to bet 60,000. Perry dwelled on this bet for thirty seconds before raising to 140,000. It was a raise that caused Palevic to muck his hand.

Perry: 400,000
Palevic: 275,000
