Kerber Puts Stark to the Test
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Derek Stark of Team Lancaster opened to 325,000 from the cutoff and Kelvin Kerber of Team Kerber called in the small blind. Dominic Coombe of Team Mccartney was in the big blind and also called.
The flop came 5♥7♣Q♦, which checked to Stark, who fired 350,000. Kerber raised to 700,000, Coombe folded, and Stark called.
Both checked the 8♣ turn to the K♣ river, where Kerber shoved. Stark had around 2,300,000 behind and needed around two minutes before he eventually decided to fold.
