Hirst Counterfeits Pearce For Chip Lead

Josh Noy

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

David Hirst in early position and Shane Pearce in the small blind were heads-up to the 9?4?2? flop. The two players exchanged bets until Pearce's stack was in the middle and at risk.

Shane Pearce: 9?4? All in
David Hirst: K?K?

Pearce had flopped two pair to take the lead over Hirst's pocket kings. The 2? turn flipped the advantage back to Hirst, making a better two pair. The A? river changed nothing, leaving Hirst ahead sending Pearce to the rail.

"Chip leader," said another player at the table as Hirst organized his big stack.

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action was three-ways to the river of a board showing 8?K?A?9?2? and around 350,000 in the middle.

Minkyu Jun fired 150,000 from the small blind and Michael Sleiman called in the big blind. Khanh Le then raised to 550,000 on the button, sending Jun into the tank.

The clock was eventually called and counted down under five seconds before Jun slid out the call. Sleiman got out of the way and Le turned over 10?6? for a ten-high flush.

"Ah, I almost folded," said Jun as he showed 9?3? for an inferior flush and Le raked in a massive pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After getting away from big slick in a tough spot earlier, Chad Awerbuch was all in and at risk against Shane Pearce as the cards were turned up.

Chad Awerbuch: A?K? All in
Shane Pearce: 8?8?

Awerbuch found ace-king once again but ran into Pearce's pocket pair, with the 4?3?Q?2?2? board providing no help.

At a nearby table, Eric Xu came up short with ace-queen against a pair of sixes to end his run in 49th place for $4,260.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Minkyu Jun limped from under the gun before Winston Tan moved all in for 335,000. Campbell Ashton then shoved his stack of 1,400,000 and action was on Chad Awerbuch on the button.

Awerbuch took a few minutes, agonizing over his decision before opting to fold. Jun got out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Winston Tan: A?J? All in
Campbell Ashton: A?K?

Upon seeing the hands, Awerbuch told the table that he folded A?K?. Tan was unable to find any help on the 6?5?8?2?10? runout, hitting the rail while Ashton added to his stack.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Eric Xu survived Day 1d with just 21,000 chips, representing just a single big blind that night. With blinds rolled back to start Day 2, that stack became two big blinds on Level 15. At the start of Level 18, he was still alive and improbably sitting with 285,000 chips.

PokerNews caught up with Xu to get insight into his plan to start the day. "Fingers crossed, survive my flips," Xu explained. "Hopefully I'm getting it in good and then just winning, happy with what the min-cash was and smiling from there on."

Xu plays with a distinctive card protector, which has been getting a workout to this point. "A friend gave it to me," said Xu."Looks good on my cards, I'll take it. Brings good luck!"

Hasan Onay opened to 40,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Greg Davison in the big blind, who made the call.

Davison showed A?7? for trip sevens, raking in a big early pot as Onay showed K?10?.
