A Tense Few Moments for Hsiang Hsieh

Hsiang Hsieh got involved in an all in pot holding pocket nines, against the tens of Matthew Pearson. The flop was golden for Hsieh, coming down {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The {j-Hearts} left Pearson drawing to two outs, one of which he would hit when the {10-Spades} fell on the river. Pearson gasped as he stacked up about 270,000, leaving Hseih with about 67,000.

A few moments later it was Hsiang Hsieh with then tens, this time up against the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} of Joel Cohen. The board slid out {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Hsieh doubled up and is now back to about 140,000.

Joel Cohen was left with about 125,000.
