River Raise Takes It

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Robert Paddock raised to 1,000 under the gun, which Benjamin McKevitt and Hector Berry called from the hijack and the big blind.

Paddock continued for 1,400 on a K57 flop, which McKevitt called before Berry check-raised to 3,900. Paddock folded, but McKevitt called for a second time.

The action checked through on the J turn, but Berry again on the Q river, putting 4,400 into the pot. McKevitt took a minute or so to respond, and then raised to 15,000. Berry wasted no time at all in surrendering the pot, as he immediately returned his cards to the dealer.
