Snap-Check By Bernard As Mifsud Extends Lead

James Bernard raised to 1,550 from middle position and found himself two callers to see a flop of {5-Spades}{A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Action checked to the preflop aggressor who fired 2,200. One fold before Michael Mifsud made the call out of the big blind.

The turn brought the {5-Clubs} and Mifsud checked to Bernard who quickly rapped the table behind.

"That's what I call a snap-check!" laughed Cliff Lee as the {6-Clubs} hit the river. Mifsud fired out 3,500 and Bernard made a reluctant fold.

Mifsud flashed the {A-Hearts} as Bernard announced that he folded pocket jacks.
