Berdejo Runs into Rockets

Level 16: 2,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Jean Paul Berdejo

With two players seeing a board of 2♠ 6♣ 4♠ and 42,000 in the middle Janno Alvarez bet 12,000 from under the gun and Paul Jean Berdejo raised to 30,000 from the cutoff. Janno shoved for 105,000 and Berdejo, who was slightly covered, called for his tournament life.

Both players had an overpair but Berdejo was in rough shape, drawing to just two outs against Alvarez’ pocket aces. He found no queens when the rest of the board ran out 2♥ 8♦ and was sent to the rail while Alvarez took the pot.
