Bertelson Makes Huge Call for Tournament Life

We caught up with the action on a {9-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} board where it appeared as though Glen Bertelson bet 9,000 from the big blind and Mark Schmid raised for an amount that we didn’t catch on the button. Bertelson called as the players saw the {10-Spades} roll off on the river. Bertelson checked and Schmid quickly moved all in which amounted to the 102,000 that Bertelson had left. Bertelson made the call and Schmid instantly mucked his hand. Bertelson turned over {Q-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} for just top pair and the floor was called over to determine if Schmid had to reveal his hand. Since it was an all in, Schmid did indeed have to show and the dealer flipped over his {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds} for an eight-high bluff. The call catapulted Bertelson’s stack to the chip lead while Schmid, the former chip leader, took a huge hit.
