Perati Getting Active as Players Guess His Age
Muhamet Perati was involved in multiple pots over a short period of time.
First, Ihab Ali limped in from early position and Octavian Voegele called in the cutoff. Perati checked his option in the big blind.
On the 3♣J♣8♣ flop, Perati and Ali checked, then Voegele fired 500,000. Perati called and Ali folded.
Both checked the K♣ turn to the 2♠ river, where Perati bet 600,000. Voegele raised to 3,000,000, and within a minute, Perati called.
Voegele showed A♣9♥ for the nut flush to scoop the pot.
Not long after, John Wasnock made it 625,000 to go from early position and Perati three-bet the button to 1,700,000. Wasnock called.
The flop came Q♠6♦10♦ and both checked to the A♦ turn. Wasnock checked, Perati bet 1,200,000, and Wasnock folded.
Directly after that, Braxton Dunaway raised the hijack to 600,000 and Perati called in the cutoff.
Both saw the K♥9♥3♠ flop hit the felt where Dunaway check-called a bet of 1,000,000 from Perati.
The 6♠ turn checked through to the 7♣ river, where Dunaway bet 3,500,000. Perati took his time but eventually settled on a fold.
During the next shuffle, the players were trying to guess the age of Perati.
"I think 51. I'm basing that on how he plays poker," said Voegele.
Perati then admitted that he was 44, much to the surprise of Dunaway.
"You're 44?! You're almost the same age as me. What did you do to your hair?" joked Dunaway, in reference to the grey color (or lack of it) of Perati's hair. Perati laughed it off and continued in the next hand, still with a very comfortable stack.
