Patrick Bueno completed on third street and was called by Scotty Nguyen, Michael DeMichele, and Ralph Perry. Perry had the high board on fourth and led out, Bueno called, Nguyen folded and DeMichele called. On fifth he led again, Bueno got out of the way, and DeMichele called. Both players checked on sixth and seventh streets.
Perry turned up -- a pair of kings for high and no low. DeMichele mucked, having missed his low draw and Perry scooped the pot, increasing his stack to 1,700,000. DeMichele is down to 960,000.
Only a few hands later, Perry scooped another stud-8 pot with trip sevens and a seven-low. He's now closing in on 2 million in chips.
