There was about 5,000 in the pot on the river with a completed board of 5h4s4h8d6d and the player in the big blind checked.

Matt Berkey bet 7,000 and the his opponent in the small blind moved all in for about 15,000. Berkey quickly called. Berkey showed 5d5s, good for a full house, and his opponent showed Jd8s, good for two pair.

“I need an eight,” said the player in the big blind, mistakenly thinking there was another card to come. “Oh, it’s over. I need nothing.”

The player in the big blind headed to the rail and Berkey took the pot.

“You’re still kicking everybody into the dirt,” said another player at the table to Berkey, referencing both his success today and in yesterday’s Poker Night in America’s High Roller cash game.

“Yup,” said Berkey. “That’s what I signed up for.”
