A Round Of Chip Counts

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The Battle of Tan vs. Berkey

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A big confrontation between WSOP bracelet winner Longsheng Tan and Matt Berkey developed on a flop reading {4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. From the big blind, Berkey bet 75,000 over to Tan, in middle position, who raised to 200,000. Berkey made the call.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}. Berkey checked and Tan fired another barrel for 475,000. Berkey mulled it over for a few moments before sliding the several 100k stacks from his stack into the middle for the call.

The river came the {a-Diamonds}. After Berkey checked again, Tan went for it all by quietly announcing all in. It appeared as though Tan had Berkey slightly covered meaning that it was for Berkey's tournament life.

Berkey thought deeply about the decision and was seemingly torn about what to do. He stared down Tan, who gave absolutely nothing away by remaining motionless with his hoodie covering his mouth. After a couple of minutes, Berkey started to play with his cards, indicating that he was leaning towards a fold but did not relinquish them yet. After about twenty more seconds he did give them up while Tan stowed his cards into the muck and collected the large boon to his stack.

Liebert Lays it Down to Draw

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a flop that read {7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades} Kathy Liebert's initial bet of 95,000 had been raised all in by Norberto Santamaria for about 450,000.

Liebert thought it through out loud and figured that Santamaria likely had a big draw but elected to lay it down, not willing to put that many chips at risk.

Santamaria confirmed her suspicions and revealed the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} for the nut flush draw with a backdoor broadway draw.
