Berkey Loses Most of Stack on Flip; Busts Shortly After
Chance Kornuth opened to 50,000 in the cutoff and Matt Berkey three-bet to 215,000 in the small blind. Jung Woo then jammed for his stack of 1,065,000. Kornuth folded and Berkey had a decision for what would represent most of his stack.
"Sorry, I have like the only hand I would tank with," Berkey said to the table before deciding for another minute or so.
"I'm in," he said as he put in his chips.
Jung Woo: 
Matt Berkey: 
The two were flipping and the dealer spread the 
flop to put Berkey behind as he made a displeased exhale. The 
turn and 
river confirmed Woo's double and left Berkey with only two big blinds.
On the very next hand, Berkey doubled to get up to 134,000 chips and on the hand after that, he put his chips in again.
Pete Skyllas had opened to 50,000 in middle position and Matt Berkey jammed in his 134,000 chips. Skyllas called.

Pete Skyllas: 
Berkey was well ahead until the eight appeared in the window on the 
flop. The 
and 
completed the board to send Skyllas the pot and send Berkey home.
"Good luck, guys," Berkey said as he made he exit.
