Gagic Doubles Through Matt Perin
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Micky Gagic is having quite a day. After coming back in the final three for the $600 event and then taking it down, he jumped into the bounty event, and now finds himself in the money of a second event today.
He was on the verge of being the 18th place player when he shoved his small stack into Matt Perin's big blind. Perin made the call with low connected cards (
) while Gagic was playing a pair of fives. The board ran out well for Gagic, despite looking a little scary. At first, the table thought Perin won with a rivered straight on the 
board, until they all realized Gagic had turned the full house with fives full of jacks, rendering any straight for Perin moot.
