Michael Berk Eliminated in 6th Place ($28,750)

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Michael Berk
Michael Berk

Michael Berk came into today as the short stack seeking redemption after taking two gross beats late on Day 1. Instead, he got "scammed" a third time in one of the first hands of the day.

Michael Berk was all in from the small blind against Cherish Andrews in early position.

Michael Berk: A♥K♥ All in
Cherish Andrews: A♣Q♥

Berk was once again in great shape, but the board ran out J♠10♠8♦K♦J♣ to have him saying "good heavens" as Andrews made Broadway to send him to the rail in sixth place.

"He got scammed three times," said Adam Hedrix.
