Lyle Loves It

A thrilled Berman!
A thrilled Berman!

The pot contained around 2,000 in chips and the flop read {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} when the gentleman in the big blind bet out 1,000. Lyle Berman under the gun made the call.

They saw a {j-Hearts} turn and this time the big blind checked. Berman bet 2,000, and his opponent flat-called.

The river was the {a-Diamonds} and the big blind checked again. This time the bet from Berman was a hefty 10,000. His opponent flatted again and turned over {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a flopped set. Berman showed {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a higher set on the turn, and took the sizeable pot.

Berman moved up to the lofty environs of 87,000.
