Walter Chambers (credit: Harrah's)

Corey Bierra is a thoughtful groom-to-be. He decides not to gamble away his chances at a wonderful wedding for himself and his fiancee. In this example from the 2005 WSOPC New Orleans Main Event, we get a fantastic illustration of his play.

Game Type: No Limit Texas Hold’em
Tournament: 2005 World Series of Poker Circuit - New Orleans
Players in hand: Walter Chambers, Corey Bierra

Starting Hands
Walter Chambers 8, 7
Corey Bierra 3, 3

Pre Flop - heads up
Corey Bierria, who said his goal was to earn enough to pay for his upcoming wedding, takes his wired pair forward and moves all in.
Walter Chambers makes the call holding 8,7.

The Flop came 2, 10, K
Walter Chambers is even further behind as Corey Bierra’s pair improves to a four flusher.

The Turn came 9
Walter Chambers is seeing his chip lead vanish if he doesn’t get lucky on fifth street, and Corey Bierra has his eyes on the $787,000 first-place prize.

The River came 8 and it was no flush for Corey, and his pair gets crushed. Walter Chambers wins and Corey Bierra takes second and $433,000 - mission accomplished.

The third place finisher in this event was a fella by the name of Antonio Esfandiari. Perhaps you’ve heard of him?
