First We Take Manhattan

For the second time in the first two levels today, Nachman Berlin has sucked out huge on Andy Spears to double up and stay alive.

Now it appears he has some chips to play with.

After getting it in with top pair against bottom two and turning trips earlier in the day, Berlin found himself facing a 12,500-chip bet from Spears on a {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} board.

His response was to shove {4-Spades}{2-Spades} and Spears called instantly with {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. It appeared Berlin's luck had finally run out, but the {a-Spades} river made his straight to save him again.

And while he now sits on 200k, Spears is out of the chip lead falling under the 300k mark.
