Top Set Will Do For Pearson

The action folded around to Bruno Portaro who limped before Matthew Pearson made it 700 to go from the big blind. Portaro made the call and they saw a flop of {K-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

Both players checked and took the free card on the turn which was the {4-Hearts}. Portaro fired out 500 before Pearson made it 2,600 to go. Portaro then announced he was all in with Pearson snap-calling.

Portaro: {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Pearson: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The river was the {9-Clubs} to double Pearson up to 15,000, although it wasn't enough to impress Dave Lee, who with tongue firmly in cheek, scoffed, "Meh...online kids...can't fold kings there?"
