Good Start for Berende

Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Strolling by Paul Berende's (pronounced "beer-in-duh", for non-Dutchies) table, we found him to be already in possession of a suspiciously large stack. And indeed, within seconds we were witnessing a little chunk of Berende run-good to put him up to over 50,000.
We caught it on the flop, and we believe that Berende in the big blind position had called a raise from his early position opponent preflop. Said flop came down 
and Berende checked, then called 450 from his opponent. They both checked the 
turn, but Berende bet out 2,150 on the 
river. His opponent called, but raised an eyebrow and mucked when Berende turned over 
for trips.
