Hirst Counterfeits Pearce For Chip Lead

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
David Hirst
David Hirst

David Hirst in early position and Shane Pearce in the small blind were heads-up to the 9♥4♥2♠ flop. The two players exchanged bets until Pearce's stack was in the middle and at risk.

Shane Pearce: 9♣4♣ All in
David Hirst: K♥K♦

Pearce had flopped two pair to take the lead over Hirst's pocket kings. The 2♦ turn flipped the advantage back to Hirst, making a better two pair. The A♣ river changed nothing, leaving Hirst ahead sending Pearce to the rail.

"Chip leader," said another player at the table as Hirst organized his big stack.
