Lodge Hits on River to Double Up Through Berkey
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Matt Berkey moved all in from the small blind with 156,000 behind. He received his lone call from Harry Lodge in the big blind. While Berkey thought he had the effective stack, it was in fact Lodge's 126,000 representing the short stack. The players tabled their hands.
Harry Lodge: 
Matt Berkey: 
The board ran out 
, giving Berkey a pair on the turn, but Lodge a bigger pair on the river. Berkey began getting up to leave before realizing he in fact had Lodge covered.
"He's still got half a blind left!" needled James Calderaro, who had folded preflop, sending himself and others at the table into uproarious laughter.
