Lyle Berman Doubles Thru Matt Affleck

Oct 18, 2010

After a flop of [8s6h3s] with four players in the pot, Kaied Barkho checks the big blind, and Lyle Berman moves all in under the gun for 92,600. McLean Karr folds from early position, and Matt Affleck tanks from the button for a while before he calls. Barkho folds.

Berman shows [QhQs] for an overpair, and Affleck turns over [Js10s] for a spade flush draw. The turn is the [Jh], giving Affleck additional outs, but the river card is the [9h]. Lyle Berman wins the pot with his pocket queens to double up in chips.

Lyle Berman  –  240,000  (40 bb)
Matt Affleck  –  110,000  (18 bb)

After the hand, Berman wanted us to report the following: "Mr. Berman recoups some of the chips that he gave away earlier this morning."
