Jamila Von Perger Poised for Deep Main Event Run

Jamila von Perger

Jamila von Perger is not a household name in the poker world, but based on what we've seen from her, that may change in the near future. Von Perger is a German-born player currently living in Austria. She's made a few deep runs in European tournaments, including final tables in a preliminary event at EPT Berlin and at a UKIPT tournament. She boasts a healthy stack late on Day 3, and if she keep up her current pace has a good chance of making a deep run in the Main Event.

We recently had the chance to watch von Perger in a couple hands. In the first, after a middle position player raised to 8,000, the small blind called, and Von Perger called from the big blind. The dealer spread {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Spades} for the flop, and the blinds both checked. The preflop raiser continued for 12,500, and the small blind check-raised to 30,000. Von Perger thought for about a minute, then pushed her entire stack forward for an all-in bet of 149,000. The preflop raiser quickly folded, accidentally exposing the {a-Diamonds} in the process. The big blind thought for about two minutes, then folded as well.

A few hands later, von Perger, Larry Wright, and one other player each put in 8,000 before the flop. The flop fell {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{k-Hearts}. Wright checked, and the other player bet 13,500. After thinking for a minute, von Perger raised to 28,000. Wright folded, and the other opponent called. Both players checked the {6-Hearts}, and the river was the {4-Diamonds}. Von Perger's opponent led out for 42,500, and von Perger thought for a bit before calling. Her opponent turned up {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for top pair, but von Perger showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for a set.

After the series of hands, von Perger is up to 256,000.
