From the button, Thomas Miller opened to 125,000, and Matthew Berkey three-bet shoved for about 1.4 million from the small blind. Miller snap-called, then fist-pumped as he knew his was in front. It's the second time we've seen Berkey three-bet shove in this spot, and just like last time, he had ace-rag this time: .
Unlike the last time, however, Berkey could not find his three-out life saver. The board ran out , and Miller and his rail enjoyed a huge celebration at Berkey's expense. The latter is out in 6th place, good for the first six-figure payout of this event. It's worth $119,528, and it's a fine consolation for the pro as he exits his first career WSOP final table.
We've been trying to find a way to describe the atmosphere in here right now, but it's almost beyond words. Suffice it to say that there's essentially constant yelling from the British fans, covering the range of topics from Tim Henman to "Port-a-Loos" to the local tourist bar, Stoney's. It's mostly nonsense, and they've begun to press in along the rails as the hands go on and the beverages continue to flow. Just now, one of them (Matt Perrins) spilled an entire beer over the ropes and onto the stage of the secondary featured table. Security is having a word with the gentlemen right now.
This party might be coming to an end as security begins to encircle the group.
Or maybe not. From across the rail, the Americans are now shouting, "Let them stay! Let them stay!"
Even the big man Dennis walked over to talk to the group. He couldn't get a word in as everyone began screaming, "Dennis, give us a wave. Dennis, Dennis, give us a wave!" They spilled beer on his shoes, but he just laughed and asked them one more time to behave themselves.
If we had one word to describe the scene, we'd go with "chaos". If we had two, we'd take "utter chaos". A pair of security guards have just escorted Perrins away from the table, and they had to deal with a barrage of full-throated chants and name calling as they tried to sort out the situation.
Matthew Berkey opened to 150,000 on the button and Eddy Sabat called from the small blind. The flop came and both players checked. The turn came and Sabat led out with 60,000. Berkey raised to 200,000 and Sabat folded after some thought.
