Berry Doubles Up Through Shimamoto
Level 37
: 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Luke Varrasso raised to 1,700,000 from the button and Hector Berry three-bet to 8,000,000 from the small blind. Branden Shimamoto made the call in the big blind while Varrasso folded.
The flop came 8?J?K?, Berry pushed his last 6,000,000 over the line for Shimamoto to make the call really quickly.
Hector Berry: K?10? 
Branden Shimamoto: Q?Q?
Berry had flopped top pair and was up against Shimamoto's pocket pair of queens.
The turn was the 3?, which didn't change things, and neither did the 3? on the river as Berry doubled up.
