Barrelling Bill

Jason Mercier raises to 3,200 from under the gun, Bill Perkins calls from the cutoff, Michael Singh calls from the button, and Olivier Busquet calls from the big blind.

The flop comes 65Q. It checks to Perkins who fires a bet and only Singh stays in the hand. The turn is the 5, and Perkins bets 11,500, earning a call from Singh once more.

The river is the 9. Perkins doesn’t hesitate, betting 20,000, and after thinking a while Singh calls one more time.

Perkins turns over 87 for a rivered straight and Singh shows Q10 for a second-best two pair. Perkins is up to about 215,000 now while Singh slips to 65,000.
