Berg Wins a Big Pot early

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a board of {2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and already a pot of 8,400 in the middle the small blind led out with a bet of 5,000. The only player behind Steven Berg reraised it to 15,000. After a long tank from the big blind eventually made the call.

Berg showed him the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for the nut flush and the big blind mucked.
