Persent Picks the Wrong Time to Hero Call
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With two players seeing a board of 5?3?6?9? and a bit less than 25,000 in the middle, Jon Persent was in early position facing a shove for 21,100 from Albertus Stegeman in the hijack. Persent took some time to weigh his options before making the call.
Albertus Stegeman: K?K? 
Jon Persent: A?5?
Persent was in rough shape with third pair against Stegeman's overpair. Stegeman remained ahead on the J? river and collected a full double up at Persent's expense.
