Adam Levy arrived to the table in the middle of a hand between Berkey, Ilkin Amirov, and Artem Metalidi. Levy observed the remaining portion of the hand. He missed the opening piece when Amirov raised under the gun, and Berkey called on the button. Big blind Metalidi joined the contest, too.

flop was checked to Berkey, who fired 2,500. Only Amirov called, and both players then checked the 
turn. Berkey, however, bet out another 8,000 on the 
river. Amirov called rapidly, but the showdown wasn't a song to his ears.
Berkey turned up 
for a flopped combo draw, and he got there with a rivered flush. Amirov mucked, showing a sign of frustration.

"Welcome to my style," Berkey replied with a smile. "Show a few hands, play all the big pots," he described his strategy.
