Pearson Gets Active
No LImit Holdem
Leo Boxell limped the button only to have Matthew Pearson bump it to 525 from the small blind to force a fold from Boxell.
"You gotta put that hand in the coverage! First hand he's won!" stated Oliver Gill as Pearson collected the pot to move to 6,800.
On the following hand, Pearson opened the button to 400 and found a caller on the small blind before Morton dropped 6,150 into the pot from the big blind - leaving himself just 500.
Pearson instantly followed suit by committing his 6,800 as the small blind went into the tank.
"I might pass, it's still an option." stated Morton as the small blind asked for a count on what remained in Morton's stack.
Showing him his last 500, Morton added, "I guess I might risk it all this hand!"
The small blind folded as Morton was put at risk.

With Morton calling for no clubs and no diamonds, Pearson took a different approach and belowed for clubs.
The final board of saw both players chop up the small blind's 400.
