Brinckley, Burchell Battling

We join a heads up hand between Matthew Brinckley and Ian Burchell on a flop showing {7-Clubs} {9-Spades} {5-Clubs}. Brinckley has the lead, and he puts out 2,000 chips. Burchell then moves all in over the top, prompting Brinckley to put his last 17,125 chips into the pot, calling the raise to put himself all in.

The cards are turned over, and Brinckley shows down {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. Burchell is well behind, but his {K-Clubs} {6-Clubs} has plenty of outs.

The turn is the {3-Hearts}, and the river is another blank, the {A-Hearts}. Burchell can't hit either of his draws, and he sends a big chunk of change over to his opponent. Matthew Brinckley earns the double up, and he now sits with just over 35,000.
