Berry Doubles Up Through Shimamoto
Level 37
: 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Luke Varrasso raised to 1,700,000 from the button and Hector Berry three-bet to 8,000,000 from the small blind. Branden Shimamoto made the call in the big blind while Varrasso folded.
The flop came 8♥J♠K♦, Berry pushed his last 6,000,000 over the line for Shimamoto to make the call really quickly.
Hector Berry: K♣10♠ 
Branden Shimamoto: Q♠Q♣
Berry had flopped top pair and was up against Shimamoto's pocket pair of queens.
The turn was the 3♠, which didn't change things, and neither did the 3♣ on the river as Berry doubled up.
