Berkey Scores Huge Double Through Dorneles Neto

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Joao Dorneles Neto and Matt Berkey had already done battle in a big pot earlier today, so we thought they might butt heads again. Sure enough, they got in a huge all in confrontation preflop that saw Berkey score a huge double up.

Dorneles Neto started the action by raising to 32,000 in the cutoff, and Berkey three bet it to 100,000. It folded back around to Dorneles Neto, and he tanked for alittle over a minute before announcing all in. Berkey snap called.

Berkey: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Dorneles Neto: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Dorneles Neto let out a huge sigh when he saw the hand he was up against, and the board brought no miracle for him, coming down {k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Spades}. Berkey hurdled the field up to 1.35 million, while Dorneles Neto plummeted to 305,000.
