Pertea Forces Out Hulme
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Andrew Hulme K♥Q♦ opened to 500,000 and Marius-Catalin Pertea Q♣J♠ called from the big blind. The 9♦7♠4♥ flop checked through to the 10♣ turn and Pertea led out for 450,000 with his open-ender. Hulme called.
The 7♣ paired the board and Pertea folded out the better hand with a bet of 900,000. Hulme seemed tempted to put on his cape, but decided to preserve his stack instead.
