The Lead for Berkey

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We caught the action on a {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, with Matt Berkey facing a raise to 68,000 from Jonathan Cohen, after he initially threw out 18,000. He tanked for a few minutes, before finally making the call, as both saw the {a-Spades} fall on the turn.

Berkey then announced all in for 150,000, which had Cohen covered, who was now at risk. He thought about his decision for a minute, before making the call.

Berkey: {K-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Cohen: {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Berkey had turned the nut-straight, and had to dodge a ten or jack on the river to propel him up the leader board. The {9-Clubs} on the river was no help for Cohen, who was eliminated from the tournament.
