Sapra walks into Pearce’s trap

Level 12: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000
Shane Pearce

A player from utg+2 opens to 6,000 and India’s Sumit Sapra 3-bets to 19,000 from the hijack. From the cutoff, however, Shane Pearce of Australia goes for a 4-bet shove for his remaining 66,000. The original raiser folds and Sapra—who barely covers Pearce—makes the call.

Sapra’s stack has now fallen below 20,000.
