Vince Burgio Has Been Eliminated

Vince Burgio
Vince Burgio
A player in middle position raised to 2,400, and after the button called, Vince Burgio called in the small blind. The big blind made a pot-sized reraise, the original raiser then moved in for 17,000, the button folded, and Burgio and the player in the small blind both called.

When all that was said and done, Burgio's {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} were pitted against the original raiser's {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} {6-Hearts} {2-Hearts} and the big blind's {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds}. The board ran out {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}, the player with the pocket aces scooped, and Burgio was eliminated.
