The flop fell 
and the middle-position player made a continuation bet of 2,200. Only Pierce called to see the 
turn. The bet was 9,500 this time and he called again, landing the 
on the river.
His opponent fired 13,200 and Pierce called, but saw he was beat when his opponent tabled 
. Pierce showed 
as he watched the pot head to his opponent.
