Persson Spikes River to Take Huge Pot from Plesuv
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
A pot of over 350,000 had developed in a hand between Magnus Persson in early position and Pavel Plesuv in the big blind, with the board reading 6♥5♥4♦J♦.
Plesuv jammed for 570,000 with the covering stack, and Persson went deep into the tank. The clock was called, and at the last moment Persson made the call.
Magnus Persson: 7♠7♣ 
Pavel Plesuv: 6♦4♥
Persson was behind, with second pair sevens and an up and down draw versus Plesuv's two pair.
However Persson binked the 3♠ river to give him a seven-high straight, and he took a monster pot.
