Berkey Gets Sneaky and Sends Silver to the Rail
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/15,000, 30,000 ante
Matt Berkey was under the gun and opted to take an underutilized line with a limp. Every other player folded and it made it all the way to Nate Silver in the big blind who only took a minute before jamming all in. Berkey made the call.
The cards hit the felt.
Nate Silver: J♦J♥
Matt Berkey: K♦Q♥
Nate was in good shape as he saw a jack in the window. Unfortunately, the full flop was 10♦J♠A♦ giving Berkey a straight. The 9♦ turn and 8♠ river wasn't able to help Silver fill up and he would hit the rail early.
