Bierman Flops The Goods
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action was picked up on the river, with the board reading A♠K♠Q♠8♠6♥. There were 120,000 chips in the middle that had been piled in over three streets, and on the final one, Chad Loube was facing a huge decision for half of his stack, as Stephen Bierman had placed 60,000 into the middle.
Loube tossed and turned between calling and folding, and after a minute he aggressively stuck in a big stack of pink 5,000 chips, indicating a call. He tabled A♥A♣ for top set, however it was no good whatsoever, as Bierman revealed that he'd flopped the absolute nuts with J♠8♠. He took in the pot as his stack climbed up to a whopping 141 big blinds right before the end of Day 1
