Atwood Advances

We just caught the tail end of this pot, but it was enough to learn what we needed to know. On the river of a {7-Spades} {2-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Spades} board, Jim Atwood led out with a bet of 45,000 into a pot of about 80,000. He was heads up with Trevor Pierce, and Pierce shoved all in for just over 200,000 total. Atwood had that just covered, and he quickly made the call to put his man at risk.

Pierce showed up {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} for the set, but it was second best. Atwood's {A-Spades} {3-Hearts} had run down the wheel, and that bi pot pushes him up among the chip leaders with more than a half-million chips!
