Berg Goes Runner-Runner to Increase Gap Again
Level 36
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Sergi Kapanadze limped 10♦9♦ on the button, Petter Berg raised K♣8♦ to 1,200,000 in the big blind, and Kapanadze called.
The dealer fanned the 9♠9♣2♣ flop, on which Berg continued for 700,000. Kapanadze then raised to 1,500,000, and Berg floated to the 5♣ turn. After both players checked, the 8♣ river completed the board.
Berg fired a bet of 3,000,000, sending Kapanadze into the tank. After a while, Kapanadze wisely let his trips go, and Berg won the pot without showing his cards.
