Berninger Quickly Ousted Again
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Likang Berninger just re-entered the tournament during the break for a 25 big blind stack, but his hopes of making it to the end of the day were quickly dashed. Bobby Dugan raised to 3,000 from middle position and Berninger three-bet to 9,000 on the button. The action folded back to Dugan who just called.
The flop came 
and Dugan checked to Berninger who put together a bet of 8,000. Dugan quickly announced all in and Berninger stuck in the last of his chips. Dugan tabled

The turn was the 
and the river brought the 
as Berninger was eliminated for good on Day 1a.
