Perez Can't Hit
We just witnessed a massive one here at the 2011 PokerStars.net LAPT Punta del Este.
Action folded to Juan Jose Perez in the hijack seat and he raised to 6,500. In the next seat, Vagner Outor three-bet to 13,500 from the cutoff. Everyone to put action back on Perez. He made the call to see the flop.
The flop came down 
and Perez checked to his three-betting opponent. Outor fired all in for a big overbet. How much was his bet? Well, it was worth 126,000, or nearly four times the pot. Perez tanked for a couple minutes and then made the call, putting almost half of his remaining stack at risk to do so.
Perez: 
Outor: 
Outor stood from his seat and awaited the turn and river, needing to dodge both in order to stay alive against Perez's flush draw.
The turn was the 
and the river the 
. Both were black, but of the wrong suit and Outor rang out some celebratory chants while pumping his fists.
