We found Dale Berger all in for about 18,000, roughly double the pot, on a flop of ![]()
![]()
. His opponent was deep in the tank, and we went to check on another table. When we turned back around to a loud clap by Berger's opponent, the cards were face up.
Berger: ![]()
Opponent: ![]()
Berger had been caught and was way behind, as his opponent had a better hand and a better draw. The
hit the turn though, one of Berger's few outs, and the
river was clean for him.
