New Leader; Mackey gets the Best of Berkey, Again

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
James Mackey (From an earlier event)

We heard the "All-in. Call," from across the room and arrived to see a monster pot brewing between Matt Berkey and James Mackey. The two had tangled previously this evening with Mackey stinging Berkey for a double up.

This time, the board read {8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts} with Berkey holding {q-}{j-} and Mackey having {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Berkey had Mackey covered, and was forced to pay Mackey's 372,000 stack when the river came a {q-Hearts}, giving Mackey a straight and the chip lead.
