On a board of 99A with around 20,000 in the pot, Brock Wilson checked from the big blind and called a 9,000 bet from Michael Berk in the cutoff.

Both players checked the 7 turn, leading to the 6 river. Wilson bet 21,000, and Berk used a time extension before shoving for 145,500. Wilson, who was slightly covered, opted to fold and Berk won the hand without showdown.
