Soik Doubles Through Berkey Again
Looking at Matt Berkey's stack, it's fair to say that there haven't been many players who would successfully tangle with the American high roller in the Event #16: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed.
But Mark Soik might be one of the few who have the vibes to avoid Berkey's domination. Soik doubled through Berkey earlier in this level, hitting a straight with king-queen against Berkey's ace-nine.
That victory clearly wasn't enough for Soik, who doubled through Berkey once again just a few moments ago. Soik had a worse starting hand again, and it was a bigger problem this time as he was in only about a 20-percent shape to scoop the pot.
Sporting the Green Bay Packers jacket, Soik was all in with 
for 26,300, trailing to Berkey's 
. The flop 
kept Berkey in lead but Soik hit his bingo on the 
turn. The 
on the river sealed the deal for Soik.
He apologized for cracking Berkey, but he took the bad beat very well. It was only a minor sting as Berkey is still crushing with close to 300,000 in chips.
