Berkey Stands His Ground

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Matthew Berkey raised to 36,000 from middle position, and Conrad Monica three-bet to 106,000 from the big blind. Berkey eyeballed the chips behind before splashing in the call.

The flop came {9-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {A-Spades}, and Monica continued out with a bet of 133,000. Berkey called quickly once again, and the turn and river came {K-Hearts} and {7-Spades} with the two men checking it down.

Berkey tabled {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}, and it was the winner. Dragging that pot moves him up to 1.15 million now, while Monica takes a step back to 510,000.
