Bernard Surges

James Bernard is on the move
James Bernard is on the move
James Bernard is surging up the chip counts after winning back to back hands.

In the first, four players limped into Nali Kaselias in the hijack who raised to 1,200. Bernard called from the button and two other players also opted to take the {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop.

On the flop the two unknown players checked to Kaselias who made it 4,000. Bernard called and the other two players folded.

The turn {5-Hearts} saw Kaselias fire out 8,000 and Bernard moved all in for 8,000 more. Kaselias laid his hand down.

The very next hand an opponent in the hijack shoved all in preflop for 8,000 and Bernard called from the cutoff. The hijack tabled {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Bernard rolled over {A-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

The hijack hit the flop on the door card {8-Hearts} but it was followed by the {Q-Hearts} and {7-Diamonds} that hit Bernard. The {A-Hearts} hit the turn to improve Bernard to two pair and the river blanked the {9-Spades}.

Bernard moves up to 47,000.
