Pierce Gets His Groove On

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

As we were walking around getting some chip counts we noticed a bit of music coming from Paul Pierce's table. When we went over to investigate we found Pierce involved in a blind vs. blind battle.

The board was already showing the {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and the small blind had checked it over to Pierce who bet 6,000. Pierce's headphones were down around his neck but with the volume turned up we could hear a steady beat coming from them which Pierce was grooving to as he waited for his opponent to act. The small blind eventually decided to fold and Pierce said "good fold" as he showed his {k-Spades}{6-Spades} for top pair with a flush draw.

Pierce was up to around 67,000 after the hand.
