Pearson Crippled But Fighting On

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Matthew Pearson might have a "chip and a chair" story to tell by the time this tournament is finished.

After being crippled to just 800 in chips, after his flush draw failed to deliver, Pearson successfully stole the blinds next hand, before finding a much needed double up.

Pearson shoved with {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

and was called in the small blind with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

and spiked the only pair on the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

board. He's back to 3,500 in chips.
