Action folded to Tony Pearce, who opened to 11,000 from the Button. Bogdan Neamtu decided to defend his Big Blind.
Neamtu checked the Q♥7♦9♣ flop, prior to Pearce betting 17,000. Neamtu wasted little time putting in a big chunk of red 5,000 chips, effectively forcing Pearce all in for perhaps 52,000. Without hesitation, Pearce made the call.
Bogdan Neamtu: Q♦J♥
Tony Pearce: A♥9♦
Neamtu was already ahead, and Pearce didn’t improve as the board bricked out for the Brit. As such, Pearce was sent to the rail in thirty-sixth place.
Bogdan Neamtu: 237,000
Tony Pearce: 0
