Pickering starts well
Jamie Pickering has been a fast starter in the early going. Not ten minutes into the day and he is edging closer to being one of the first players to double up.
Pickering was the beneficiary of a large pot with Danny Mountt. Mountt limped out of middle position and called a raise from Pickering in the small blind. Both players saw a flop, with Pickering check-calling a 700-chip bet from Mountt.
The turn saw Pickering once again check to Mountt, who fired out 1,100. Pickering thought for a moment before check-raising to 5,100. Mountt made the call.
The river saw Pickering fire out 5,000, Mountt flat-called and mucked when Pickering tabled for a full house.
Pickering starts out at 32,300. Mountt on the other hand will be looking to turn things around at 7,700.
