Reid Takes a Big One From Berge

Mike Patrick

Level 33

Jermaine Reid: //
Peder Berge: //

Betting went back and forth with a large pot built by the time cards were shown down after seventh street.

Reid first defended his bring-in to a completion from Berge, then check-called bets on fourth and fifth streets, before taking the lead on sixth.

The players then checked seventh street, and Reid announced "two pair" as he showed for sevens and deuces, while Berge could only show a pair of losing tens.

Level 33

John Hoang has just been eliminated from the tournament in a brutal fashion by Peder Berge.

On third street, Hoang brought in, then called a completion from Berge.

On fourth street, Berge check-called a bet from Hoang, who was getting short.

Fifth street witnessed Berge take the opportunity to bet first, which got a call from Hoang.

Berge then bet again on sixth street, and Hoang frustratedly smashed his last stack of chips forward to put his tournament life at risk.

John Hoang: //
Peder Berge: //

Hoang feared he may have been dead to trip jacks, but was thrilled to see his rolled up fours were actually the best hand.

Hoang opened an inconsequential on seventh street, but then Berge slowly peeked at his final card and said, "I have three aces" as he flipped up the to drive a proverbial dagger into Hoang, ending his tournament with a horrific bad beat.

Mike Patrick

Level 33

On third street, Peder Berge brought in, and John Hoang limped behind.

Hoang then led out on fourth and fifth streets, with Berge calling on each.

On sixth street, Hoang bet again, leaving himself just 210,000 behind, less than one big bet. Berge somewhat lackadaisically put forward a call.

"Just call?" Asked Hoang.

"Yeah, I don't wanna put you in", replied Berge.

Before seventh street was dealt, Hoang bet his last 210,000 dark, and Berge turned up his cards, showing for a pair of jacks.

Hoang questioned whether Berge was calling, to which Berge said, "sure, yeah" and cut out the 210,000.

Hoang immediately showed for two pair, kings and sixes.

As Berge's chips were pushed to Hoang, Berge muttered to himself "that was stupid."
