Berkey Takes Out Two
Level 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
The hand started with Mike Watson moving all in for 43,700 and getting an immediate call from Matt Berkey to his left. The action folded around to Ryan Schmidt, who then announced all in for around 135,000 in chips. Berkey asked for a count, but made the call regardless, as the cards were shown.

giving both his opponent top-pair. However, the 
fell on the turn, giving Berkey the flush, leaving both his opponents drawing dead, as the meaningless 
completed the board.
“Where did you come from?” asked JC Tran, after the hand.
“Mars!” replied Berkey, who’s recent move to the table paid off nicely, as he rockets up to 355,000 in chips.

Closing in on the Money
Level 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
With a table recently breaking we are now down to 10 tables and just 90 players remaining.
With the top 81 players receiving a piece of the prizepool and just over 34 minutes remaining on the clock, there is a chance we may hit the money before dinner break. And like on previous occasions at the WSOP, if the tournament is hand-for-hand at the time of dinner, the Tournament Director will more than likely continue play until the bubble is broken so that the final 81 players can enjoy a dinner break knowing they are $9,175 richer.

Tran: 
Cohen:

and to see Cohen hold with his pair.
