Balas Building Massive Stack by Taking Out Petersen

David Salituro
David Salituro
Level 17 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Dekel Balas raised on the button, Kevin Petersen reraised in the small blind, and Balas called.

The flop came K♠6♦7♠ and Petersen bet. Balas called to the 5♠ turn, where Petersen bet again. Balas then raised, and Petersen called all in.

Balas showed A♥8♦4♣2♣ for a straight and low. "I need a five or a seven," Petersen said as he turned over A♣10♥7♥5♣, but he couldn't connect with the river and Balas earned the knockout.
