It all started when the action folded to Fierro in the small blind and he raised to 1,900. Chris McClung was watching avidly from the big blind and he three-bet to 4,800. Back to Fierro and he made the call and the two of them shared a flop of 
. Fierro checked to McClung and he bet 5,500 and Fierro made a pretty quick call. The turn was the 
and Fierro once again checked. McClung bet 10,700 and Fierro fiddled with his chips for a few minutes before he announced he was all-in and McClung called instantly.
Showdown
| McClung |   |
| Fierro |   |
Fierro looked as if he wanted the ground to swallow him up.
The river was irrelevant and the look on Fierro's face said it all, "Why oh why oh why did I just do that?"
