Climber of the Day Falls
Barrie Pietersz came back today with 127,000 - not a big stack, but not the shortest. However, in the first few minutes of play he found himself down to just one ante after losing with against .
A remarkable comeback then commenced. He doubled first with against , and then again with versus . His pocket kings then held up against pocket queens and pocket eights for a triple up. Then he got his chips in again with against pocket fives and spiked. From just 1,000 in chips, Pietersz managed to build his stack up to 400,000.
However, just now he dropped right back down to 63,000 after slow-playing pocket kings and running into some trouble against on an ace-high board. It's not looking great for Pietersz right now, but you should never discount the possibility of a comeback...
