Perati Takes the Lead
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
After a few hands where Hervé Gouzil extended his short lead, Mario Perati opened to 2,100,000 from the button and Gouzil defended from the big blind.
Perati continued for 800,000 on the 5?8?3? flop and Gouzil check-called, then both of them checked the 5? turn.
On the 5? river, Gouzil led out for 1,800,000. Perati went deep into the tank and called with J?6? for jack-high and a pair. Gouzil only had 6?4?.
