"Leeeeeroyyyy... Oh, Wow"

Level 20 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Bill Perkins opened for 150,000 from the hijack and then called when Jason Koon moved all in for 550,000. Perkins tabled the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and was racing against the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} of Koon.

The {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop didn't do much for either player, but the {A-Spades} turn did as it gave Perkins, who was clearly excited, the lead with a pair of aces. When the {J-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Perkins celebrated by loudly shouting the famous World of Warcraft line, "Leeeeeroyyyy Jenkins."

About that time the table pointed out that Koon had rivered a straight to win. "Oh, wow," Perkins said as he came crashing down from his high. "Unbelievable, I can't get anything going."
