Pertea Wins at Showdown
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Stephen Song A♠K♦ made it 400,000 from early position, and Marius-Catalin Pertea A♦9♦ called from the next seat over. Andrew Hulme 7♦6♦ defended his big blind.
Pertea took the lead on the J♥9♥6♣ flop, and action checked through to the 2♦ turn. Pertea bet 700,000, and Hulme folded his pair of sixes. After using a time bank, Song made it 1,700,000 and was called.
With 4,900,000 in the middle, the 10♠ completed the board. Song gave another time bank to the dealer before checking. Pertea followed suit, and his one pair was good enough to take the pot at showdown.
