Perez Steals One on the River
Level 38
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Roberto Perez raised to 20,000 on the button and Doug Polk defended his big blind. The flop came A♥Q♣8♥ and Polk check-called a bet of 40,000 from Perez.
The turn was the K♥ which slowed the action as both players checked to the 5♦ on the river. Polk checked for the third time and Perez tossed in a bet of 85,000. Polk gave it some thought but decided to lay his hand down.
Beside them, Chris Brewer has increased his lead to nearly two-to-one over Anthony Zinno.
