Torgerson WIns at Showdown
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Gennady Shimelfarb opened the action with a raise to 26,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to Bill Perpich, who was on the button and called. Eric Torgerson also came along, defending his big blind to take action three ways to the streets.
The flop fell 
and all three players checked. Torgerson fired out 40,000 on the turn 
and Shimelfarb folded. Perpich called to take action heads up to the river 
where both players checked to go to showdown.
Perpich showed 
and Torgerson tabled 
for kings and nines to earn the pot and take him just shy of 800,000 in chips.
