Piper Plays Sad Song as Pettersson Doubles Up

Toni Pettersson raised to 145,000 from the cutoff and no-one fancied taking him on. He picked up the blinds and antes.

The next hand Pettersson raised in the hijack, this time to the tune of 155,000. Again, everyone folded.

So it was that Pettersson raised for the third hand in a row to 155,000, and this time Michael Piper reraised to 340,000. Everyone else passed, and after a while Pettersson called.

Both players checked the {9-Spades}

flop and Pettersson checked again on the {J-Clubs}

turn. Piper bet 285,000. Back to Pettersson, who attempted to raise to 460,000; this was swiftly corrected to a minimum 470,000. Piper three-bet all in, Pettersson called all in, and they were on their backs.

Piper: {K-Hearts}
