Baker Counterfeits Bertram on the River
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Nathan Bertram moved all in for 120,000 in the hijack, Vernon Baker reshoved in the cutoff, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Nathan Bertram: A♥9♥
Vernon Baker: A♣K♥
Bertram found himself dominated, but the 10♠9♣8♣ flop gave him the lead with a pair of nines. The turn was the 10♣, while the A♦ fell on the river. Bertram's nines were counterfeit, and Baker took the pot with aces and tens with his king-kicker to send Bertram to the rail.
"It was fun seeing everyone trying to figure it out. I wonder you noticed it first?" tablemate Nicholas Verderamo said.
