Perez Wins Massive Pot To Hit 300K

Diego Vilela and Juan Jose Perez
Diego Vilela and Juan Jose Perez

Diego Vilela opened to 2,600 in the cutoff, only to see Juan Jose Perez make it 7,500 to go from the button. Action folded back to Vilela who called.

The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Vilela checked. Perez bet 9,600, but was unable to shake Vilela. The {6-Spades} turn fell and once again Vilela checked. Perez fired again, this time a hefty 42,000. Vilela, though, came along to see the {Q-Spades} river. Vilela went into the tank, eventually shoving for about 50,000. A snap call from Perez revealed {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a straight. Vilela's {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} was second best, ending his tournament just before the first break of the day.

Perez, meanwhile, appears to be the chip leader with about 310,000.
