Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Juan Perez
Juan Perez

Juan Perez moved all in from early position for what looked like 180,000 and Julio Belluscio called from the small blind to put Perez at risk.

Perez: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Belluscio: {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Perez had the preflop advantage with his ace and Belluscio needed to improve in order to win the pot. The {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Spades} flop paired Perez's nine and kept him in the lead. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing, but the {K-Hearts} fell on the river to pair Belluscio's king, so he took the pot to end Perez's deep run in this event.
