Berda Gets Some Help from Bell

We arrived after the hand had wound up, but were able to catch Tomer Berda scooping up a pile of chips after doubling through Hugh Bell. We were able to catch the cards on the table, and they looked a little something like this:

Berda: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Bell: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Board: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Berda's straight bested Bell's two pair, and Berda was left with twice as many chips as he started.

Not too long afterwards, Berda was seen mixing it up in a pot with David Tuthill. When we arrived, there was about 90,000 in the pot, with the flop reading {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Tuthill bet 63,000 from the under the gun position and folded to Berda's re-rase to 175,000.

Berda four-bet to 261,000 and Bronshtein just called.

Flop: {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Bronshtein check-folded to Berda's shove.

Berda has now about 550,000 and Bronshtein slipped to 350,000.
