Berk Busts

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Michael Berk on Day 1a
Michael Berk on Day 1a

Michael Berk was just seen making his way from the tournament area and confirmed the bad news: pocket kings did him in twice today.

The most recent occurrence that sent him packing involved a pot where he three-bet an original opener and received a cold-call behind as well as a call from the original raiser. All three stacks then went in on the flop {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Michael Berk: {k-Clubs}{k-}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-}
Opponent: {4-}{4-}

The turn brought a club to give Berk a shot at it all, but the river {4-} brought quads and spelled the end of his tournament life.

Ladies Good for Vyas

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Reg Powell opened the action with a raise to 1,800 in early position and was three-bet to 6,000 by Hardik Vyas in middle position. The cutoff cold four-bet to 16,100, sending Powell into the tank for a bit before letting his hand go.

"How much do you have behind?" asked Vyas, looking across the table to the other player's stack. Over a minute then went by before he found a call, and then action proceeded to check through to showdown as the board came {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}.

Vyas showed {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, good for queens up, and his opponent shot his cards to the uck.
