Berkey's Bluff
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Adrian Bussman opened to 17,000 from early position, Matt Berkey called in the small blind, and Jason Helder three-bet to 55,000 out of the big blind. Bussman folded, Berkey once again called, and the flop fell 
.
Berkey checked, Helder continued for 46,000, and Berkey called.
Both players knuckled after the 
turned, and the 
completed the board.
"All in," Berkey muttered under his breath, placing a short stack of yellow T1,000 chips in front of him.
The dealer wanted to confirm that Berkey had indeed moved all in, and after the Las Vegas pro nodded, he echoed the all-in bet.
"Call," Helder said rather quickly, wagering his remaining 273,000.
Berkey went to muck his hand, but because there was an all in and a call the dealer was forced to turn over 
. Helder tabled 
for a pair of aces.
