Pickering's Turn

[user75032]

A new look for Jamie Pickering

Jamie Pickering trusted his tournament life to a big draw. The flop {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

fit perfectly with the hand he had been dealt, {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Spades}

. Pickering therefore raised all in for 23,875 after his opponent opened the betting to 2,200. Pickering's opponent hit the flop with a draw of his own, showing {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Spades}

after he called the raise. The {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

that hit the turn did not change anything, but Pickering made a pair of queens with the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

river to win the hand and double up to about 51,000.
