Pickering Makes Nice Call

Jamie Pickering is well known in tournament circles throughout Australia, but is perhaps remembered in these parts for his epic drunken heads-up battle with Vanessa Selbst last year for a bracelet in the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event.

He's still in search of that elusive WSOP gold and hopeful this might be his day. It hasn't being going so well today, but we just caught him making a nice call down which might turn his day around.

Pickering called preflop and bets on every street on a board of {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{K-Spades}{10-Spades}{Q-Clubs} to see his opponent table {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} for just ace-high. Pickering revealed {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} to the chuckles of his opponent as he moves back up above 20,000 chips.
