Perez Flops the Nuts in Five-Way Pot
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Five players saw a flop of 8♦7♥9♥ where Jason Rocha bet 2,200 from the hijack. Francisco Perez then raised to 9,000 in the small blind.
Luke Appleton tanked for a minute before folding under the gun, while Sylwester Fortuna also folded in middle position as action went back on Rocha who moved all in. Perez snap-called for 20,000.
Francisco Perez: J♥10♣ 
Jason Rocha: A♥8♥
Appleton shot out of his seat and pumped his fist after seeing Perez's flopped straight. Rocha was on a flush draw but missed the 2♣ turn and 2♦ river as Perez doubled up.
Appleton then admitted he folded two kings. "Not the best flop for kings, especially with five players," Perez told him.
