Matthew Pearson is through to round two with a tough 2-1 win over Kerry Stead.

The final hand saw Pearson raise the button with the {6-Spades}{2-Spades}, before the two committed their chips on the turn with the board reading {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{8-?}{7-Spades} as Stead tabled {K-?}{3-Spades}. The river bricked out and Pearson's flush sees him through to round two.

The online team are now out to an 8-4 lead. With only four matches remaining, the live team will need to win all four to maintain the balance of power in this contest.
