Gallagher Takes Berger Down

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Alexander Bilbao raised to 50,000 from mid-position and Ben Yu three-bet to 140,000 from the late position. Action folded to Michael Gallagher in the small blind who shoved. Matthew Berger did the same from the big blind with the shorter stack. Bilbao quickly folded but Yu needed some more time. Yu tanked for a while and looked at his cards again.

"It feels like it's the Main Event here, but not quite though." Yu said with a bit of a smile on his face. He looked at his cards several more times and then opted to fold.

Matthew Berger: {J-Spades}{9-Spades}
Michael Gallagher: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for Gallagher's pocket kings to hold and take Berger out in 27th place.
