Berda Mourns Loss of Chips

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

A full board reading {5-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} was out on the felt when we got there; Tom Dwan's perma-rail had increased significantly owing to the fact that he had bet 25,000 to cover Tomer Berda. Berda removed his shades and looked very unhappy. In fact, he looked bereaved. Over the course of the next seven or eight minutes, Berda appeared to go through the following stages:

- incomprehension
- grief
- anger
- back to incomprehension
- then back to grief

Finally, acceptance - he folded. Berda is at 18,000 after that. Dwan is up to around 40,000.
