Berent and Michaelis Tangles One Last Time

Norbert Berent and Paul Michaelis have been battling each other all day, and it has very much been a case of fighting fire with fire. The two of them just got to tangle one last time before their table broke, and it was Berent to score the last pot with a great river call.

Michaelis fired 15,000 on the and Berent made the call, before both players checked through the turn. Michaelis checked his option on the river, Berent bet 36,000 but looked quite perplexed when Michaelis came back over the top for 105,000 total. Ultimately Berent committed the chips, and Michaelis' were no match against the of Berent.

Berent didn't look unhappy with being separated from the aggressive Michaelis, but his smile certainly faded when he got the news that he will now have Anatoly Filatov with a massive chip leader stack just two seats behind him.
