Pierce More Than Doubles
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action was picked up on a flop in a pot between four players, with 6,000 in the middle.
The board read 9♠8♣6♣ and action saw one player bet 5,000 and another player call behind him. Shane Pierce moved all in for 36,800 and the fourth player folded. The initial bettor moved all in for 28,000 and the other player asked for a count before deciding to call to cover both players.
Opponent #1: K♠J♠
Shane Pierce: 8♦8♠
Opponent #2: 6♣6♦
The board ran out Q♥9♦ and two of the three players filled up, but it was Pierce's full house that was superior as the massive pot was pushed his direction.
At another table, Ian Richardson re-entered the tournament.
