Berk Wins a Flip the Hard Way
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Clemen Deng raised to 12,000 on the button and Michael Berk shoved all in for 389,000 in the small blind. Chris Hunichen tanked for a minute in the big blind and then folded. Deng also gave it a minute and then called off his stack of 187,000.
Clemen Deng: K♠J♠
Michael Berk: 5♥5♦
It turned out to be a coin flip and the flop of J♣4♦3♦ gave Deng the lead with a pair of jacks. However, the 2♥ on the turn and the 6♠ on the river gave Berk a straight to send Deng to the rail.
