Lucky Sevens Victorinious
After Tomer Berda's extraordinary comeback to well over 300,000, he has dropped back down to 150,000.
Berda opened for 25,000 before Victorino Torres reraised to 155,000 with just three yellow T5,000 chips back, protecting his cards. Berda, thinking that Torres was all in, announced a call and turned over his cards - .
TD Thomas Kremser was called over and ruled that Berda's hand was still live, and as it was an honest mistake and Torres clearly wasn't going anywhere anyway, he didn't give him a penalty. Duly they saw a flop and Berda bet out 15,000; Torres called all in, and promptly flipped for a flopped set.
Nothing changed on the turn or river, and Torres doubled up to 360,000. Berda couldn't help but be amused, even though he's back down to 15 big blinds.
