Hitching a Ride on the Sol Train

Sol Bergren

Sol Bergren has just doubled through to 382,000 in chips -- the result of a four-way raised pot, midway through the 19th level of play.

Steve Merrifield opened the pot with a raise to 22,000 from under-the-gun which was called by Daniel Mar (cutoff) and Darren Keyes (button). Patrick De Koster folded his small blind and Bergren checked his option in the big.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{Ks]{Q-Hearts} and all four players checked, sending the action to the turn: {K-Clubs}

Bergren checked, and Merrifield took a stab at the pot, firing a 35,000 bet. Bergren was the lone caller and the two went heads-up to the river: {4c)

Another check from Bergren and Merrifield bet enough to put Bergren all in (approximately 150,000). Bergren made the call and tabled {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for the absolute nuts.

"Very nice hand," said Merrifield as he mucked the losing hand, leaving himself with 340,000 in chips.
