Pearce Doubles Through Chip Leader
Level 21
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Levi Berger raised it up from 20,000 in the cutoff, and he got calls from Eddy Sabat on the button and David Gonia in the small blind. Gary Pearce then moved all in from the big blind for his last 136,000, and after some thought, Berger called. The rest got out of the way, and we were heads up.
Berger: 
Pearce: 
The flop was safe for Pearce, coming 
, and the hand was over when the 
hit the turn, pairing Pearce. The 
on the river was bit of a needle for Berger, as he would have won had Pearce not turned the queen, but Berger is still plenty fine with 1.34 million.
