Berg Finds Aces Again

Frank Visser
Frank Visser
Level 8 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

David McGowan open-jammed his remaining stack of 71,000 as first to act, and he was looked up by Eli Berg in the cutoff.

David McGowan: A♣J♣ All in
Eli Berg: A♥A♦

The last ace appeared on the K♠4♠A♠ flop to give Berg a massive lead. The Q♠ turn brought outs to chop and scoop for McGowan, but the J♥ river gave him a no-good two pair to be eliminated instead.
