Byrne Crushed as Persson Doubles

Paul Byrne moved all in for 51,600 and action moved over to Alex Keating. He asked for a count and then took a minute to fold. Simon Persson then called all in for 37,500 and everyone else folded. Persson held the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Byrne the {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Persson won the pot to double to about 80,000. Byrne was left with about 14,000.

Keating claimed that he folded pocket jacks. He had about 175,000 in his stack while making this claim.
