Berkey's Limp Gets Lamb

Level 17 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Ben Lamb

Matt Berkey limped in from the cutoff seat, and then Ben Lamb raised all in for 424,000 from the small blind. Play folded back to Berkey, he took a little bit of time, then called with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

"That's what I thought you had," commented Lamb with the {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

The flop, turn, and river ran out {7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and Berkey won the pot to eliminate Lamb.

Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time Lamb has seen someone employ the limp strategy. When he reached the World Series of Poker Main Event final table in 2011, Phil Collins began limping in a few spots and his decision to do so drew a lot of attention. Berkey has been limping a fair amount on Day 3 of the Super High Roller Bowl, and we'll see if it continues.
