Rough Start for Berk
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Michael Berk opened to 525,000 from under the gun and Joshua Payne three-bet to 1,500,000 from the hijack. Berk gave it some thought but decided to lay his hand down.
Alexander Villa raised to 525,000 in the hijack and Michael Berk defended from the big blind. The flop came 8♦7♣5♥ and Berk checked to Villa who bet 375,000. Berk check-raised to 1,150,000 and Villa jammed all in, forcing a fold from Berk.
