Pickering Picked Off

Omaha

With just about 20,000 chips in the pot preflop, Jamie Pickering and David Arfa saw a flop of {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {2-Spades}. On seeing those cards fall, Pickering quickly moved all in for his final 14,500 chips. Arfa called just as quickly.

Showdown
Pickering: {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}
Arfa: {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {7-Spades}

Arfa had flopped two pair, and Pickering was pretty much looking for a heart or a jack to survive. The turn and river both came down blank though, as the {10-Diamonds} and {5-Clubs} did nothing to improve Pickering. After losing his final pot of the day, Jamie is out in 34th place.
