Bernthold Gets the Double Up
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
James Cavanaugh raised on the button, Daisuke Ogita flatted in the small blind, and Joseph Bernthold three-bet in the big blind. Cavanaugh then announced "pot" with a four-bet. Ogita got out of the way and Bernthold called off the rest of his stack, putting himself at risk.
Joseph Bernthold: A♦Q♣9♠5♥ 
James Cavanaugh: A♠K♠J♥7♦
The board ran out 2♦Q♦5♣6♥K♣, and Bernthold's two pair, queens and fives, awarded him the pot and the double up.
