Rough Start For the Truth
Paul Pierce, a Boston Celtics legend, Brooklyn Nets player, and future NBA Hall of Fame member, was recently spotted in the Amazon Room. We followed Pierce around to his seat and almost immediately saw him get caught up in a huge hand.
We arrived to see Pierce in the small blind calling after the big blind had raised to 1,000, then the flop came 
. Pierce check-called another bet of 1,000, and on the turn the 
hit.
Pierce checked again and the big blind bet another 1,000. Swiftly Pierce check-raised to 4,000 and the big blind called right away. On the river the 
completed the board and casually Pierce flicked out a bet of 10,000.
The big blind called and Pierce tabled 
for three of a kind queens and a busted straight flush draw. But the big blind tabled 
for a Broadway straight and Pierce, obviously disappointed with the loss of this big pot, complimented his opponent for his strong hand.
