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

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

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: AK All in
Cherish Andrews: AQ

Berk was once again in great shape, but the board ran out J108KJ 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.
