David Berger achieved his first Mid-States Poker Tour title at Sycuan Resort & Casino in California, winning $87,100 in the process. The $1,110 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament gathered 474 entrants, generating a prize pool of $458,280. Berger entered the final table fourth in chips but caught a winning streak, eliminating multiple players and securing victory just weeks into the new year. His win fulfilled a New Year's resolution to earn a new trophy, marking this tournament as his largest victory to date.
It feels great, I made a New year's resolution to win a trophy I don't already have, and it feels really good to cross that off in this first month.
The $1,110 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament saw a field of 474 runners pass through the starting gate over the course of five starting flights.
Berger was fourth in chips when the final table began, but he had some work to do to catch up to the chip leaders.
He continued the heater by sending Jerric Jiang to the rail in third place when pocket queens held against A-J, and that gave Berger a nearly 2:1 chip advantage.
