Brutal Set-Over-Set Ends Berman's Tournament
Level 13
No-Limit Hold'em
Picking up the action after the flop, Josh Arieh in the small blind was involved in a hand with Lyle Berman on the button. With the board reading K?2?10?, Arieh led out for 60,000 only to see Berman raise to 200,000. Arieh responded by coming back over the top for 400,000. After some thought, Berman moved the rest of his stack into the middle and was quickly called by Arieh, who had the covering stack.
Lyle Berman: 10?10?
Josh Arieh: K?K?
Berman was on the wrong end of a brutal cooler and would need to get extremely lucky to survive. No help came on the 8? turn, with the A? river putting the final nail in the coffin for Berman and sending a massive pot over toward Arieh.
