Pierce Wins a Big Flip
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
The player on the button open-shoved for about 90,000 or so and John Pierce made the call in the big blind with the covering stack.
Button: A♥10♣ 
John Pierce: 5♥5♣
The button improved to top pair on the 5♠A♠4♣ flop, but Pierce flopped a set. The 8♠ landed on the turn and the K♣ fell on the river and Pierce eclipsed the 200,000 chip mark.
At a nearby table, Brad Magnus exited when he was short-stacked and all in with ace-four against Joseph Osterbauer Sr's pocket kings.
