Matthew Berkey check-called a bet from Mikhail Lakhitov on a 
flop, and we joined the action as the 
landed on the turn. Berkey checked again, then called 255,000 more chips to put over a million chips in the middle On the river, the 
drew checks from both players.
Berkey tabled 
, and that was good news for Lakhitov. He showed 
, and top pair is good enough to send the pot his way. It moves him up into second place with 2.43 million now.
