Robert Perelman just experienced the best and worst of poker in a matter of three hands.
Hand 1: Perelman found a great squeeze spot with a short stack.
Srinivasa Giridhar limped UTG and Charles Askey made it 11,000 to go on 2,000/4,000/4,000. The button and small blind called before Perelman squeezed all in for 45,000. Giridhar then jammed over the top from UTG and Perelman's K♠Q♦ was dominated by A♠K♣.
Perelman found luck on the flop of K♥Q♣7♦ and the 4♠7♥ runout took Perelman from 49,000 to 127,000.
Hand 2: Perelman versus AK versus AK.
After an uneventful small blind, Perelman looks down at T♦T♠ on the button and there are two players all in from the hijack and middle position. Perelman covers both and calls. Both players table AK.
Perelman just needed a low run out. The board came too low though.
The flop came 5♦4♠2♠ for the at risk players to pick up the gutshot wheel draw which they binked on the 3♥ river. Perelman got chopped up and left with 30,000.
Robert Perelman: T♦T♠
Elan Lepovic: A♣K♥
MD Bhuiyan: A♦K♣
