Piper perks up
Michael Piper is back up to 40,000 after eliminating Leandro Balotin. He raised from mid-position and was only called by the Brazilian in the big blind. The flop came and Balotin insta-checked. Piper went to bet but opted to check and see the turn. Balotin insta-checked again to face a 1,725 bet from the Brit. Balaotin went all-in for around 6,500. This time it was Piper's turn to make a quick decision and it was to call as he held for trips. Balotin opened and was eliminated after the river came .
