Berk Claims Another One

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Michael Berk
Michael Berk

Michael Berk raised to 2,000 preflop from the hijack and saw the big blind defend.

The flop came out {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and the big blind checked to Berk who bet 2,200 which the big blind responded too by raising to 6,800 which Berk called.

The turn {10-Hearts} saw the big blind bet once more, this time to the tune of 6,400 and Berk called.

The river {j-Hearts} saw the big blind check and Berk move all-in for 6,900 effective. The big blind put in a sighing call as Berk turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for a queen high flush. That was enough to send the opponent to the rail as he quickly flashed his {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} before leaving the tournament area.

At another table, Daniel Sepiol was eliminated.
