Pearson Pounces on Four-Way Three-Bet Pot

Level 7 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

"NoNeedMoney" limped in under the gun. Dario Alioto then made it 17,000 to go in middle position, which Ermanno Di Nicola called on the button.

Philip Pearson flatted in the big blind before "NoNeedMoney" upped the ante to 87,000, stringing all opponents along to the QK9 flop. Pearson then promptly jammed, finding Di Nicola as the only caller for 290,000.

Ermanno Di Nicola: [kdctsth] All in
Philip Pearson: JJ104

Person's flopped straight remained best as the 46 runout did not pair the board. Di Nicola was sent to the rail while Pearson approached a seven-figure stack.
