Dennis Perry Eliminated in 68th Place ($130,288)

Four players saw a {9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop, and after Reagan Silber checked Dag Martin Mikkelsen bet 200K. Adam White moved all in for 794,000 and Dennis Perry called. Mikkelsen folded and White's {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} led Perry's flush draw with {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

"Why call 800K with a draw?" White asked.

"Because I want to," was Perry's succinct reply.

But he also probably wanted to see a heart fall instead of the {8-Clubs} on the turn and the {A-Diamonds} on the river that were actually dealt. That missed draw ended Perry's run in the Main Event.

Dennis Perry was eliminated in 68th place, earning $130,288.
