Sclavos Forces Pickering's Hand

[user92162]

Jamie Pickering has been mixing it up early, accumulating a good size stack early in today's tournament.

However his aggression was his undoing as he went head-to-head with Eric Sclavos. Pickering opened the pot from under the gun and found callers in Maya Gellar-Antonius and Sclavos.

On the flop of {4-Hearts}

Pickering fired once again and both players flat-called. Pickering once again bet the {a-Spades}

turn and Sclavos immediately raised. Gellar-Antonius got out of the way and Pickering showed his first sign of weakness by calling.

The river {6-Clubs}

saw Pickering check and then fold to a bet from Sclavos who took the hand down without showing.

Pickering is still strong at 6,500, Sclavos has now chipped up to around 7,000.
