John Pires Eliminated

John Pires was all in for 3,500 from the big blind and up against Mike Wattel. Wattel had the best hand with {A-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. Pires held {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {3-Spades}, pairing both players, but giving Pires two pair and the lead.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} though, and nailed Wattel with a better two pair. The river came the {10-Clubs} and that was it for Pires.
