Pierce Hits Trip Tens

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Paul Pierce
Paul Pierce

Six players saw the flop come down {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}, including NBA star Paul Pierce. On the flop, action was checked by two players before a third player bet 800 and got called by Pierce and one other.

On the turn, the {A-Spades} landed on the felt, and the remaining three players checked to see the {5-Hearts} land on the river. The first player bet 2,000, the second folded, and then Pierce called.

Pierce quickly turned over the {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} after calling for trip tens. His opponent nodded and mucked his hand, giving Pierce the pot and moving "The Truth" back up over 40,000 in chips.
