Perez Doubles with Nuts, Bergman Exits
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On a multi-way flop of A?J?Q?, Edward Bergman checked, a player bet 25,000, and then Erik Perez potted it to 123,000. Bergman then check-raised all in, which prompted a quick fold from the original raiser and Perez got the rest of his chips in, putting himself at risk.
Erik Perez: K?10?9?7?
Edward Bergman: A?A?10?6?
Perez was in the lead with his flopped nut straight, but he needed to fade the board pairing against Bergman or a king that would mean a chop. Fortunately for him, the runout of 6?7? were complete bricks and he was pushed the pot for the double.
Meanwhile, Bergman was left short and wound up exiting two hands later to Jonathan Bowers.
