Mark Burford, his stack still looking very sad compared to his neighbors', raised under the gun. To his immediate left, Georgios Kapalas reraised. It folded back around to Burford who went all in for a mere 3,000 more; Kapalas matched his bet and they turned the cards over.

Kapalas edged back up to 235,000.
