With the board reading {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and around 45,000 in the middle, Matt Berkey led out for 35,000 on the river. His opponent, Mark Zullo, thought long and hard — enough so, that the clock was called. Zullo finally put together the chips for a call and Berkey tabled {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for two pair. Zullo mucked his hand and Berkey scooped a sizable pot to begin the day and sit on top of the leaderboard.
