John Bird just lost a big hand that saw a good portion of his chips go to Scott Freeman. We caught up the hand on the river. With about 700,000 in the pot and the board reading {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

, Scott Freeman checked. John Bird bet 600,000 and Freeman called. Freeman showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Spades}

which beat the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

of Bird. This pot catapulted Freeman to 1,600,000 in chips and left Bird with a modest 100,000.

Bird doubled through Issac Haxton on the next hand, when his {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

bested Haxton's {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

. Bird is still well below average however with just under 200,000 in chips.
