Berda Wheels in a Gigantic Double

Our new chip leader: Tomer Berda
Our new chip leader: Tomer Berda

Vladimir Kochelaevskiy started the hand with the button and raised to 365,000. Tomer Berda promptly re-raised to 1,160,000 and Kochelaevskiy called.

The flop was all diamonds; {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Berda built two massive towers of green T25,000 chips and slid them forward to bet 2,000,000. Kochelaevskiy announced all in and Berda quickly called.

Kochelaevskiy: {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Berda: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Berda needed a diamond, ace or jack to take the lead. The {4-Spades} came on the turn which was an interesting card. It didn't change much persay, but it did give Berda a wheel draw.

The {5-Clubs} on the river completed said draw.

"Yessssss!!!!!!!" Kochelaevskiy's rail shouted from the rail, not realizing Berda had made a straight.

After a moment for clarification and chip verification, Merda was shipped a wave up chips making him our new chip leader:

Merda - 10,800,000
Kochelaevskiy - 3,800,000
