Peretz Hits the River to Double
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Braxton Dunaway opened to 200,000 from the hijack. Yaniv Peretz in the cutoff three-bet for 2,000,000 with only 490,000 behind, and was called by Erwann Pecheux on the button. Dunaway folded.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♦3♦6♥ and Peretz moved all-in. Pecheux snap-called.
Yaniv Peretz: A♦5♦
Erwann Pecheux: A♥K♥
Pecheux was in the lead but Peretz had a nut flush draw. The 9♣ turn changed nothing but the 5♣ river gave a pair to Peretz, allowing him to double up.
He three-bet in the next hand and won an extra million.
