Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

In the first hand, the board read {8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs} with around 14,000 in the middle. Mustapha Kanit bet 7,000 from under the gun and Paul Pierce was considering his options from Kanit's direct left. After a while, Pierce reluctantly made the call but mucked as soon as Kanit tabled {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for the rivered straight.

The hand right after, Pierce raised to 1,000 from under the gun and Kalidou Sow three-bet to 2,200 from the button. The flop came {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, Pierce check-called the 2,000 bet of Sow. The turn was the {9-Hearts}, now Pierce check-folded to the 3,100 continuation-bet of Sow.

"I need to double up soon!" Pierce exclaimed while Kanit was filming an Instagram story claiming he was the real MVP and tagging Pierce in it. Pierce just laughed it off.
