Piper perks up

Michael Piper is back up to 40,000 after eliminating Leandro Balotin. He raised from mid-position and was only called by the Brazilian in the big blind. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Balotin insta-checked. Piper went to bet but opted to check and see the {j-Hearts} turn. Balotin insta-checked again to face a 1,725 bet from the Brit. Balaotin went all-in for around 6,500. This time it was Piper's turn to make a quick decision and it was to call as he held {a-Spades}{9-Hearts} for trips. Balotin opened {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and was eliminated after the river came {k-Spades}.
