Perez Comes From Behind to Double
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Atanas Malinov raised to 5,000 in early position before Francisco Perez three-bet to 10,000 in the cutoff. Yanis Avanesyan four-bet to 33,000 in the big blind, Malinov folded, while Perez moved all in for 72,000. Avanesyan called.
Francisco Perez: A?Q? 
Yanis Avanesyan: A?K?
The 7?J?J? flop left open the possibility of a chop, but Perez hit the Q? on the turn to make two pair. The river was the 3? and Perez doubled up.
"That was a weird hand," Perez said.
