Pickett's Piling Up

Since the field has been reduced to 119 players, the action at the tables has slowed considerably, but Mike Pickett has quietly been accumulating chips to move up to almost 330,000.

From under the gun, Mike Pickett raised to 7,000 and another player in middle position called before the action folded around to the big blind, who also called to make it three-handed to a flop of {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, which they all checked before the big blind led out for 10,000 on the turn of the {2-Diamonds}.

Pickett called and the middle position player folded, then the two players checked the river {K-Clubs} before the big blind showed down {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Pickett tabled {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for two pair to take down the pot.
