Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jussi Julkunen raised to 16,000 in the hijack. Jon Persent then three-bet to 65,000 in the small blind, which Julkunen called.
Persent continued for 35,000 on the 9♣K♥J♥ flop, but Julkunen wanted to play for it all and moved all in. Julkunen's stack of 210,000 was covered, and after some thought, he let go of his cards to concede the pot.
Not much later, Persent was eliminated by his nemesis, putting the field two spots away from the money.
