Bernard's Small Blind Special

Cliff Lee limped in from middle position, James Bernard completed and Alfred Grech checked his option in the big blind to see a flop of {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Bernard checked to Grech who tossed out 1,500. Lee made the call before Bernard popped it to 4,500. This forced a fold from Grech but Lee called once again.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and Bernard made the price 5,000. Lee obliged and the river fell a dangerous looking {8-Clubs}. It was enough to slow both players down as they checked it through.

Bernard tabled {7-Clubs}{5-Spades} for the flopped nut straight which was good to collect a nice pot. Bernard is up to 60,000 with Lee falling to around 50,000.
