Mortal Perel Averted

Our American, Rob Perelman - we believe the gentleman who had to travel the furthest to get here - has just coinflipped his way to a double up.

Perelman held 9d Td and his opponent was holding pocket sixes. The board ran out 8-K-7-9-8 (Mr. Sixes valiantly cried for a ten on the turn to complete his straight, but it never came) and Perelman is now at 45,000 - only slightly more than he started the day with, and still well below average.
