Persson Spikes River to Take Huge Pot from Plesuv
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
A pot of over 350,000 had developed in a hand between Magnus Persson in early position and Pavel Plesuv in the big blind, with the board reading 6?5?4?J?.
Plesuv jammed for 570,000 with the covering stack, and Persson went deep into the tank. The clock was called, and at the last moment Persson made the call.
Magnus Persson: 7?7? 
Pavel Plesuv: 6?4?
Persson was behind, with second pair sevens and an up and down draw versus Plesuv's two pair.
However Persson binked the 3? river to give him a seven-high straight, and he took a monster pot.
