An Air Ball For Pierce

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante
Paul Pierce
Paul Pierce

A player in early position limped and Paul Pierce, who was next to act, raised to 1,200. Action folded back to the limper who called. The flop came {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} and both players checked. After the {j-Diamonds} came on the turn the first player checked again and Pierce tossed out a bet of 1,200. The other player thought only for a few seconds before tossing in the call. The river brought the {10-Hearts} and both players checked and revealed their hands.

Pierce: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

The ducks were good enough to win the pot but Pierce was still left with a decent stack of 52,000 after the hand.
