A Berda in the Hand is Now Worth 45,000
The gentleman in the hijack had opened for 2,200 when we arrived, and WSOP $2,500 NLH bracelet winner Tomer Berda was reraising to 5,375 from the button, leaving himself 16,000 behind. It folded back to the hijack who called, and they saw a flop.
Flop:
The hijack checked and Berda promptly went all in. With a flourish, his opponent tossed in the call, but then made a sound like, "Pfffff," when the cards were turned over.
Hijack Gentleman:
Berda:
The turn and river came down a harmless and respectively, and Berda doubled up to around 45,000.
