Steve Burkholder and an opponent were heads up with the board reading {3-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Burkholder checked, his opponent tossed out 3,200, and Burkholder check-raised to 6,700. His opponent tanked for the better part of two minutes, then re-raised to 17,000. Burkholder called.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, both players checked, and the {8-Spades} completed the board. Burkholder led for just 14,000, and his opponent tank-folded.
