Sclavos Forces Pickering's Hand
However his aggression was his undoing as he went head-to-head with Eric Sclavos. Pickering opened the pot from under the gun and found callers in Maya Gellar-Antonius and Sclavos.
On the flop of Pickering fired once again and both players flat-called. Pickering once again bet the turn and Sclavos immediately raised. Gellar-Antonius got out of the way and Pickering showed his first sign of weakness by calling.
The river saw Pickering check and then fold to a bet from Sclavos who took the hand down without showing.
Pickering is still strong at 6,500, Sclavos has now chipped up to around 7,000.
