Broens Puts Berry to the Test

Ryan Lashmar

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Max Broens opened to 1,500 from middle position and Hector Berry three-bet to 4,500 from the cutoff. Broens made the call.

The flop came A♠5♣7♦. Broens checked, Berry bet 3,100, Broens check-raised to 11,000 and Berry called.

On the Q♣ turn Broens bet 12,000 and was once again called by Berry.

The river was the 6♦. Broens bet 31,000 and Berry, who had just a little more than that behind, went deep into the tank.

After a few minutes a player called the clock and about 15 seconds afterwards Berry finally decided to fold, telling his opponent after the hand that he had folded two pair.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There was a raise to 1,100 from early position. Adam Travis called from the hijack and they went to the flop heads-up.

The flop came 5♣3♦3♣. The early position player check-called a bet of 1,500 from Travis.

The K♦ on the turn and the 9♥ on the river checked through and the early position played flipped over A♠K♣ for a turned pair of kings. This was good as Travis showed Q♣Q♦ for a pair of queens.
