Berger's Kings Hold Up

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Paul Berger raised to 200,000 and Eric Baldwin moved all in from the small blind. Ben Yu gave it brief consideration in the big blind and folded, while Berger quickly called all in.

Berger: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Baldwin: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Berger was relieved. Another player at the table mentioned that a fourth queen would have given Baldwin the better hand and Berger replied, "That would have been the sickest." Berger's double was for 1,370,000, which put a dent into Baldwin's big stack.
