Hand #35: Bill Perkins Out in 6th Place

Jason Mercier raises to 10,000 from under the gun, Tony Guglietti calls from the next seat, then Bill Perkins reraises all in for 104,000 from the cutoff seat.

Olivier Busquet then reraises all in from the button, scattering everyone else.

Perkins: AJ
Busquet: KK

The flop comes J98, giving Perkins a pair of jacks. The turn is the 4, and Perkins still needs help to survive. The dealer burns and turns the river card — the 5 — and Perkins is out in sixth.

Meanwhile Busquet adds more to his chip lead, now sitting with 619,500.
