Wells vs. Zebra Boy

Heather Wells
Heather Wells
THE FIFTY-- Bad news for all you budding Heather Wells fans -- her once-formidable stack is now down to a mere 3,700.

Though she'd been dwindling slowly all afternoon after a terrific start, the latest blow to Wells came courtesy of the man in the zebra-print sweater, whom I will now reveal as Stephen Pearce.

On a board of {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, Pearce moved all in for 5,500 on the turn. As the cameras swarmed, he began chatting to their lenses.

"I'm not nervous at all. Especially because she hasn't called yet."

Wells did call, and tabled {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, while our zebra-printed friend turned up the {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}, leaving Wells drawing to only two outs. The river was the {3-Hearts} and Pearce's stack shot up to 24,500.

"It's all about these moments, isn't it?" he said as he stacked up his chips. Wells remained silent and emotionless as she counted out what she had left.
