Trips Not Enough for Berand
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Vito Vella raised from under the gun to 16,000 chips and Stanislaw Miadzel called from the button. Ceyhan Berand then jammed in his last 50,000 or so chips in from the big blind.
Vella four-bet all in himself, covering Miadzel's stack. Miadzel pondered for a while before laying his hand down, forcing a showdown between the other two players.
Ceyhan Berand: 5♦4♣
Vito Vella: A♦Q♣
Berand took the lead on J♦10♥4♥, and the 4♦ turn saw him increase that by hitting three of a kind. However, Vella's Broadway draw came in on the K♠ river, and the straight was the last hand Berand would lose to, as it resulted in his elimination from the Main Event.
