Bernthold Gets the Double Up
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
James Cavanaugh raised on the button, Daisuke Ogita flatted in the small blind, and Joseph Bernthold three-bet in the big blind. Cavanaugh then announced "pot" with a four-bet. Ogita got out of the way and Bernthold called off the rest of his stack, putting himself at risk.
Joseph Bernthold: A?Q?9?5? 
James Cavanaugh: A?K?J?7?
The board ran out 2?Q?5?6?K?, and Bernthold's two pair, queens and fives, awarded him the pot and the double up.
