Berthelsen Gets the Best of Byers
Kevin Berthelsen opened the action with a raise to 2,500 and Zach Byers three-bet to 7,000. Berthelsen then four-bet to 14,000 and Byers made the call.
The flop of 8♠A♥2♣ went check-check as did the 4♥ turn. On the 6♠ river, Berthelsen put out a small bet of 3,500.
"I can't fold now, I know you're probably good," said Byers as he flicked in the call only to see the bad news when Berthelsen tabled K♦K♣ to scoop the pot.
The next hand, Berthelsen raised to 2,500 and Byers three-bet jammed for 26,200 to put himself at risk. Berthelsen made the call.
Zach Byers: A♣K♥ 
Kevin Berthelsen: 9♦9♥
Byers pulled ahead on the 3♠10♥K♦ flop, pairing his king. The turn landed the A♠ and only a nine on the river would eliminate Byers.
The river brought exactly that - the 9♠ and Byers hit the rail in dramatic fashion.
