Peery Pays the Price

The action folded around to John Cook who raised to 6,500 before Bruce Peery shoved for an additional 30,000. Cook went into the tank, then elected to call with his {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Peery looked sheepish as he turned up his {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The board was spread {5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Peery's hand-in-the-cookie-jar moment cost him his tournament life. Cook is now on more than 250,000 in chips as a result!
