Berkey On Fire

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Matt Berkey was under the gun and opened to 10,000. A player in the big blind moved all in for what appeared to be 45,000 and Berkey called.

Berkey: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Big blind: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Berkey spiked a set on the flop to eliminate his opponent.

As another hand was in progress on the table behind Berkey, we peered over to see him knock out another opponent, only this time he had pocket kings and hit a set. If Berkey continues this heater the field could be in big trouble as this Las Vegas pro knows exactly what to do with a stack. Berkey has six cashes so far and this will make seven. His deepest run came in Event #16: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed where he finished in fifth place for $87,141. Berkey does not have a bracelet yet but he has over a million dollars in WSOP tournament earnings and several final tables. Could this be his breakthrough year? Stay tuned.
