Perez Continues to Climb as He Gets There the Hard Way
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Luis Rayon Perez opened 240,000 in early position and only Anton Gililov came along from the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of K?10?4?, and Gililov check-raised a 150,000 bet to 450,000. Perez responded with an all-in shove, putting Gililov to the test for his remaining 2,600,000. Gililov made the call.
Anton Gililov: K?10? 
Luis Rayon Perez: A?9?
Gililov was in the lead with top two pair and asked the dealer to slowly peel the turn and river. The Q? fell on the turn, fading Perez's flush draw but giving him a gutshot straight draw. The J? on the river was a painful one for Gililov, as it completed Perez's straight, eliminating Gililov from the tournament."
