"Nice Hand"

Tomer Berda raised to 350,000 from the button only to have Vladimir Kochelaevskiy reraise to 1.02 million. Berda made the call and the two saw a flop of {J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.

Both players checked, as they did when the {3-Spades} came on the turn. When the {2-Diamonds} hit the river, Kochelaevskiy gathered chips and pushed forth a bet of 1.435 million. Berda quickly called but mucked when he saw Kochelaevskiy's {A-}{8-}.

"Nice hand," was all Berda could say as he dropped to 2.4 million; meanwhile, Kochelaevskiy is up to 12.2 million.

All In and a Call

Vladimir Kochelaevskiy raised to 365,000 from the button and Tomer Berda moved all in. Kochelaevskiy made the call and they turned over their cards:

Kochelaevskiy: {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Berda: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Kochelaevskiy was looking to hit an ace and couldn't do so on the {6-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop. The {5-Clubs} was no help and all Berda needed to do was avoid an ace or four on the river. The dealer burned and put up the {K-Spades}.

Berda doubled to 4.54 million while Kochelaevskiy sits with around 10 million.

Berda Wheels in a Gigantic Double

Our new chip leader: Tomer Berda
Our new chip leader: Tomer Berda

Vladimir Kochelaevskiy started the hand with the button and raised to 365,000. Tomer Berda promptly re-raised to 1,160,000 and Kochelaevskiy called.

The flop was all diamonds; {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Berda built two massive towers of green T25,000 chips and slid them forward to bet 2,000,000. Kochelaevskiy announced all in and Berda quickly called.

Kochelaevskiy: {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Berda: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Berda needed a diamond, ace or jack to take the lead. The {4-Spades} came on the turn which was an interesting card. It didn't change much persay, but it did give Berda a wheel draw.

The {5-Clubs} on the river completed said draw.

"Yessssss!!!!!!!" Kochelaevskiy's rail shouted from the rail, not realizing Berda had made a straight.

After a moment for clarification and chip verification, Merda was shipped a wave up chips making him our new chip leader:

Merda - 10,800,000
Kochelaevskiy - 3,800,000
