Porter Gets Nothing From Berman

Level 15

We picked up the action on the flop, heads-up. Rep Porter was in the big blind, and he checked to Lyle Berman, the preflop raiser. Berman made a bet of 4,500, and Porter called.

On the turn, the {Q-Diamonds} drew checks from both players, and Porter decided to take the lead after the {7-Spades} river. He made it 7,000 to call, and Berman tanked before doing just that. It sounded like Porter mumbled that he had pocket kings but we can't be sure. What we can be sure of is that Berman's {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} was the best hand at showdown, and it's given him a chip boost up to 97,000.

Porter is getting low now, down to 31,900 with some work to do.
