Early One for Berk

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

On just the third hand of the day, there was a dead big blind (the player wasn't at their seat), the cutoff min-raised to 200. The player on the button called and Michael Berk did the same from the small blind and it was three-way action to a [10 x4xXx] two-heart flop.

Berk checked, the cutoff bet 200, and the button folded. Berk woke up with a check-raise to 1,100 and the cutoff called to see a {7-} turn.

Berk kept the pressure on with a big bet of 6,200 and that did the trick as his opponent released.
