Berger Beefs Up His Chip Stack

Fred Berger and Ben Mintz went the flop of {2-Spades} {5-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. Mintz checked, Berger bet 80,000 and Mintz called. The turn came {K-Diamonds} and Mintz check-called 120,000 from Berger. The river came {10-Hearts}, Mintz checked a third time and Berger fired out 250,000.

Mintz went into the tank with visible sweat on his brow. After a decent tank he folded and surrendered the pot to Berger.
