Persson Able

Simon Persson has quietly been building up his stack to 78,000, one of the largest in the downstairs room, with a headphone-wearing calm which may lull his opponents into a false sense of security. He dented Isabelle Mercier's stack ever so slightly in his last confrontation, calling her preflop raise, check-calling her flop bet on the {5-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {2-Hearts} before leading out for 3,225 on the {8-Spades} turn. She pondered for a short while before making the call. The river was the {J-Spades} and Persson bet out again - this time 3,700. This time the reaction was completely different - an instant hurl of her hand into the muck.
