Bjerno Gets Caught
Level 17
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
We picked up the action in a heads-up pot between Kelly Cortum, on the button, and Nathan Bjerno, in middle position. Bjerno had check-raised Cortum's bet of 12,000 to 27,000. Cortum, deep in thought, seemed to be counting out a reraise when Bjerno decided to save him the time and the trouble and just tossed his cards to the dealer.
Cortum has cracked the 200,000 chip barrier. Bjerno, who has more than $200,000 in live tournament winnings, has taken a few recent hits to his once-room-leading stack.
