Pat Pezzin Hits the River

[user40108]

Pat Pezzin - Day 1b

Action folded around to Pat Pezzin in the cutoff seat and he moved all in for roughly 27,000. Andrew Ashbey called all in from the button for about 23,000 and the players showed:

Pezzin: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

Ashbey:

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

It was a race situation with Pezzin needing to improve. It was Ashbey's tournament life on the line, but Pezzin would have been crippled had he lost.

The board came {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

and Pezzin's rivered pair of kings took it down. He chipped up to approximately 50,000 and ended Ashbey's day in the process.
