Berkey Doubles With Two Pair

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Matt Berkey was in the big blind in a heads-up pot against early position opponent Michael Duek on a board of {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

Duek bet around 15,000 on the turn and Berkey raised all-in for 39,000. Duek gave it some thought and called with a bigger stack.

Matt Berkey: {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Michael Duek: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Berkey was ahead with two pair and nothing changed on the {5-Hearts} river to earn the Solve For Why founder the double.

"Sometimes you've got to be willing to die!" Berkey said after the hand.
