Perez Flops the Nuts in Five-Way Pot
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Five players saw a flop of 8?7?9? where Jason Rocha bet 2,200 from the hijack. Francisco Perez then raised to 9,000 in the small blind.
Luke Appleton tanked for a minute before folding under the gun, while Sylwester Fortuna also folded in middle position as action went back on Rocha who moved all in. Perez snap-called for 20,000.
Francisco Perez: J?10? 
Jason Rocha: A?8?
Appleton shot out of his seat and pumped his fist after seeing Perez's flopped straight. Rocha was on a flush draw but missed the 2? turn and 2? river as Perez doubled up.
Appleton then admitted he folded two kings. "Not the best flop for kings, especially with five players," Perez told him.
