Berkey Avoids the Fireworks

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Matt Berkey limped for 4000 in early position, the cutoff raised to 16,000, the small blind three-bet all in for 45,000, and the big blind came over the top for a four-bet shove, putting all of her 200,000-plus chip stack in the middle.

Berkey folded against all of this action, and eventually it was just the blinds going head to head, with the at-risk player doubling up. His {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} hit the set on the {4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{a-Spades}{9-Hearts} to take down the big blind's {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}.
