Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Will Berry raised to 5,200 from middle position, and was called by the hijack and cutoff, before Alex Kim three-bet to 25,000 in the small blind. Berry called, and the other two players folded.

Action checked down through a board, and Kim tabled for an unimproved Big Slick. That proved to be good enough as Berry flung his hand to the muck.
