De La Cruz Cracks Berk's Aces, Jumps into Chip Lead

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

We joined the action on the turn with what looked to be about 25,000 chips in the pot and a board reading {3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

Antonio De La Cruz, from under-the-gun-plus-one checked the turn to Michael Berk, who pushed his entire stack of about 60,000 into the middle declaring, "All-in." De La Cruz thought for a moment before making the call from his 70,000 chips stack.

Berk tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and De La Cruz {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

De La Cruz needed help, and it came in the form of the river {10-Hearts}, giving him two pair and sending Berk to the rail.
