Jyri Merivirta raised in early position and received calls from Lawrence Berg in the hijack and Brad Owen in the big blind.
Merivirta bet on the 8♣5♥2♥ flop and only Berg called. Merivirta bet again on the 8♥ turn and Berg called once more.
Merivirta put out another bet on the A♦ river and Berg called. Merivirta then turned over A♠A♣8♦7♥ for a full house and Berg squeezed his cards so hard that one of them flew across the table and onto the floor. One of his tablemates had to retrieve it for him, and Berg then sent all four into the muck.
Nick Kost, runner-up in this event at the 2023 WSOP, is also at this table.
