Win Some, Lose Some for Pierre Garand

Level 2 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

As we mentioned earlier Pierre Garand is a singer by trade and he just combined his day job with his hobby in the second of back to back hands he played.

In the first he was in the small blind, he raised it up to 33,000 and Brandon Steven made up the extra from the big blind. Neither player liked the look of the {6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop but Garand bet 54,000 on the {J-Spades} turn, call from Steven. The {5-Diamonds} fell on fifth street and Garand's bet of 130,000 was enough to force Steven to fold.

Garand was in action on the very next hand, he raised on the button and Yaqi Sun defended from the big blind. The {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop was checked to Garand and he bet 64,000. As Sun was considering his options Garand began signing, it was a very low volume but it sounded like a rendition of the popular Beatles hit 'When I'm 64'. He only had time for a couple of lines before Sun called and the {2-Diamonds} peeled off on fourth street.

Another check from Sun was followed by another bet from Garand (111,000) and a call from Sun. The {A-Spades} completed the board and once more Sun checked. Garand went deep into the tank and eventually he elected against firing a third barrel. It was a good decision as Sun opened {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a turned flush, Garand showed pocket kings for a flopped set. "Very good check," said Mark Teltscher as the pot was pushed to Sun.
