Andrew Pierce raised to 30,000 under the gun and it was folded all the way around to Sami Kelopuro in the big blind who called. On the {J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, Kelopuro checked to Pierce who moved all in for 230,000. Kelopuro made the call and the players showed their hands.

Kelopuro: {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Pierce: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The players were flipping pre but on the flop, Kelopuro’s set had Pierce dominated and down to runner runner for a straight. The {5-Diamonds} gave Pierce wheel outs to the four but the {K-Spades} on the river gave him a useless pair and he was eliminated.
