Pearson Strolls Down 4th Street

Level 27

No-Limit Hold'em

Shaun Deeb opened to 51,000, and Travis Pearson shoved all in for 411,000. Deeb wasted no time calling, and Pearson was at-risk as the cards were turned up. And he was in trouble.

Showdown
Deeb: {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}
Pearson: {A-Spades} {5-Clubs}

Pearson didn't find a five on the flop, but the {9-Hearts} {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} did give him some chop outs.

Turn: {5-Spades}

So much for your chop. Pearson spikes the three-outer to pull into a big lead with one to come. He just needed to dodge a jack, and the river {2-Hearts} was as blank as it gets.

It's good to be lucky, and that spell of good fortune has doubled Pearson into a dead-head for the chip lead with 850,000.
