Burchfield Gets Caught

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Derrick Contreras
Derrick Contreras

On a board of {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Spades} and a pot of around 600,000 chips, Kris Burchfield checks it over to his opponent. Derrick Contreras cuts out a bet of 250,000 and slides it forward, only to have Burchfield raise to 525,000.

Contreras goes into the tank for almost three minutes, during which the only thing said is a heartfelt, "I really hate you," to Burchfield.

In the end, Contreras elects to call, turning over {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for trip eights.

Burchfield groans, "Oh, I thought I could get you off it there," mucking his hand.

Walt Lustgraaf moved all in from under the gun for around 500,000 and Jesse McVicker moved in over the top for around 700,000. Everyone else folded and the hands were turned up.

"Hey, Kris," McVicker said, "You won with this one. Let me win with this one."

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, putting McVicker in the lead, which is where he stayed through the {6-Diamonds} turn and {k-Diamonds} river.

Kelly Vande Mheen Eliminated in 6th Place ($7,319)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Kelly Vande Mheen
Kelly Vande Mheen

Kelly Vande Mheen and Michael Childers got their stacks in the middle preflop when they each picked up a big ace.

Kelly Vande Mheen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Michael Childers: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Childers had Vande Mheen covered and at risk for his tournament life. The board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, improving neither player, and Childer's ace-king high took down the massive pot.

For his sixth-place performance in the main event, Vande Mheen will take home $7,319.

Burchfield Doubles Through Vande Mheen

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Kris Burchfield
Kris Burchfield

Kelly Vande Mheen opened the pot for 80,000 and Kris Burchfield three-bet to 155,000. Vande Mheen shoved all-in and Burchfield snap-called.

Kelly Vande Mheen: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Kris Burchfield: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

It's the cooler you dread for Vande Mheen, and his odds don't improve on the {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop, because Burchfield has the diamonds covered. The board completes with the {2-Spades} turn and {5-Hearts} river, sending 610,000 chips over to Burchfield.
