Berg Doubles Up In Unconventional Fashion

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Team PokerStars Online Pro Anders "Donald" Berg has just doubled up in a rather unconventional hand. Lauri Meidla opened the betting to 3,500 from early position, which was the first non-standard play as the raise was quite large by the table's standards. Sam El Sayed called but when the action folded to Berg in late position he raised to 22,000 leaving himself just 5,700 behind.

The action folded back around to Meidla and he decided to flat call! El Sayed folded but accidentally revealed the {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} he was passing to the dealer. Once the confusion this cause subsided the dealer put out the {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop. Meidla bet enough to put Berg all in and he instantly called.

Meidla: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Berg: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Berg had flopped a set and was a huge favourite to double up, around a 96% favourite. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and the river the {10-Clubs} and Berg doubled up.
