Berkey Gets There, Stays Here

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

The action folded around to the blinds, and Thomas Miller and Matthew Berkey got it all in. Berkey was the one at risk for 840,000 from the big blind, and he was in trouble with {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds} against Miller's {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}.

The flop brought the ace, though, and Berkey (standing on the rail with his friends now) lowered his head and shook it back and forth. The board ended up showing {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {3-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}, and Berkey has doubled up to 1.71 million.
