Sameer Batra raised under the gun to 80,000, Caleb Piderit called from the hijack, and Eli Berg moved all in from the cutoff for 440,000. Batra folded, and Piderit asked for a count before he called with 8h8c.

Berg turned over 9h9c, and need his higher pair to hold to stay alive.

There was a nine in the window as the flop came Jc10c9s, giving Berg a set of nines to Piderit’s open-ended straight draw.

The turn card was the 3d, the river card was the 2s, and the set of nines held up for Berg to win the pot and double up in chips.

Eli Berg  –  1,035,000  (35 bb)
