Martin Berge was just eliminated in 16th place for €3,020 in a hand that took nearly eight minutes to unfold.

Markku Koplimaa opened up from the hijack to 13,000 and got a call from Berge in the big blind.

Berge checked after the {2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} came on the flop before Koplimaa fired out a continuation bet of 12,500. Berge tanked for two minutes before he raised to 28,500.

Koplimaa then tanked before he raised to 100,000, which more than covered the approximately 60,000 Berge had left in his stack. Berge paused for several minutes before he made the call.

Markku Koplimaa: {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Martin Berge: {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

"Nice hand," Berge said when he saw his middle pair needed help to beat Koplimaa's top pair.

No help came as the {4-Hearts} on the turn and the {4-Clubs} on the river were blanks and Berge headed to the cashier to collect his payout.
