Perez Steals One on the River

Level 38
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Roberto Perez raised to 20,000 on the button and Doug Polk defended his big blind. The flop came A?Q?8? and Polk check-called a bet of 40,000 from Perez.
The turn was the K? which slowed the action as both players checked to the 5? on the river. Polk checked for the third time and Perez tossed in a bet of 85,000. Polk gave it some thought but decided to lay his hand down.
Beside them, Chris Brewer has increased his lead to nearly two-to-one over Anthony Zinno.
