Matt Pierce Eliminated in 9th Place ($6,262)
Michael Forman raised to 135K preflop and Matt Pierce reraised an additional 225K from the small blind. Jeff Weiss called from the big blind and the Forman folded.
The flop came down [Kd][Jh][Td] and Pierce bet 800K. Weiss raised to 2 million straight and Pierce moved all in. Weiss immediately made the call and they turned over:
Pierce [Kh][Ks]
Weiss [Ah][Qh]
Pierce had flopped a set but Weiss flopped the straight. The turn was the [4d] and the river came the [5d]. Pierce was unable to make his full house and Weiss won the pot.
Weiss had Pierce covered by less than 100K to eliminated him from the tournament.
Weiss now has well over nine million chips with just over 19 million total in play.
