Berger Takes Massive Pot from Ybarra

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Seth Berger opened for 50,000 from the cutoff, and Ruben Ybarra called him from the big blind.

The flop came {5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, and Ybarra checked and called 52,000. The turn was the {2-Hearts}, and Ybarra once more checked. Berger fired 85,000 this time, only to see Ybarra check-raise to 285,000. Berger called immediately. Ybarra fired out 300,000 more on the {q-Hearts} river, and Berger began thinking. A short time later, he made the call.

Ybarra: {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Berger: {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Berger's kicker barely played, and he gathered the biggest pot of the tournament.
