Lyle Berman Busts

Arrrgh!  Why'd the board have to pair!
Arrrgh! Why'd the board have to pair!
On a flop of {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}, Lyle Berman checked from early position, Robert Hauck bet 1,500 and Berman made the call. The turn was the {10-Spades}. Berman checked again, Hauck bet 3,000, Berman raised to 15,000, Hauck moved all in and Berman called.

Berman {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Hauck {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}

Berman had turned a straight and had a flush re-draw, while Hauck had bottom set. The river, though was the {10-Clubs}, making Hauck a full house and eliminating Berman.
