Thuritz Keeps Climbing

Mikael Thuritz
Mikael Thuritz

No-Limit Hold'em

The action folded around to Lyle Berman in the small blind, who completed. Mikael Thuritz made it an additional 50,000 to go from the big blind and Berman called.

Both players checked the {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop. When the {2-Clubs} hit the turn, Berman bet 125,000 and Thuritz looked him up. The river was the {9-Hearts} and Berman checked over to Thuritz, who bet 225,000. Berman made the call.

Thuritz showed {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts} for top two pair and Berman mucked. Thuritz is near the top of the pack with 2.3 million while Berman is down to 700,000.
