Berende Blew Up the Pot

Paul "padjes" Berende is down a little for the day, most of it credit to this hand against Ihar "OMGitshunt" Soika we wrote about earlier.

Berende told us about a different hand he played earlier though, again with Soika. In that hand the player opened under the gun/the cutoff to 200 on the still four-handed table. Berende called from the small blind and Soika in the big blind squeezed to 850. The initial raiser called and now Berende resqueezed to 3,050. Both Soika and the player under the gun made the call to grow the pot to a whopping 9,000 plus already.

The flop came rainbow and Berende bet 3,550. Soika called, the other player folded. A hit the turn and Berende check called a bet of 5,650. The river came an and Berende checked again. Soika, who played Berende online many times, checked behind eventually.
