Berg Doubles Through Kuo

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Eli Berg opened under the gun to 2,500 before the action was on Kitty Kuo on the button who put in a three-bet to 8,000. It folded back to Berg who only took a moment before four-betting all in. Kuo snap-called and they were off to a full board with Berg all in and at risk.

Eli Berg: KK
Kitty Kuo: AK

The 9K7 flop landed giving Berg a set and the lead. The dealer gave a sweat when he dealt the 5 turn but the 6 river would seal the deal giving Berg the pure double.

Frank Lagodich
Frank Lagodich

Frank Lagodich opened in early position to 2,100 before getting called by Dylan Linde in middle position and Andrew Lichtenberger in the cutoff.

The 993 flop laned and Lagodich continued for 2,000. Only Linde called on their way to a 7 turn.

Lagodich sat in the tank for a moment before sizing up to 8,000. Linde went into the tank and burned a time bank in the process. Eventually he found a fold and Lagodich dragged a healthy pot to move back towards the middle of the field.
