Fishers Ends Up on Top of Eventful Runout
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 2,000 ante
Ruslan Zakharchuk got the action started with an open to 8,000 from early position. Cody Fisher shoved from the cutoff before Michael Berland followed with an all-in from the small blind. Zakharchuk got out of the way as Fisher and Berland clashed, with Berland at risk.
Michael Berland: 9♦9♥
Cody Fisher: Q♠Q♦
Berland was well behind, and the flop smacked Fisher when it came K♠10♣Q♥, but Berland was still alive with a gutshot straight draw.
Berland called for a jack, and his wish was the turn's command as the jack appeared when the J♣ hit the turn to give Berland the lead.
Fisher needed the board to pair, and that would be the case when the K♣ peeled on the river as Fisher improved to a full house to retake the lead and eliminate Berland.
