Berko Battles Laurila
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Scott Berko opened his button to 500. 2024 Irish Open champion Tero Laurila called in the small blind, and Andrew Dooley came along in the big blind.
The A♦6♥J♣ flop was checked to Berko, who continued with another bet of 500. Laurila called before Dooley folded. Berko sized up to 1,700 on the 3♥ turn, again seeing Laurila check-call.
Laurila kept checking on the 9♦ river. Berko spent some time in the tank before firing an overbet of 6,300 into the pot. Laurila quickly looked him up, but he mucked his cards in defeat when Berko tabled J♥J♦ for a flopped set.
