Kahle Burns opened to 30,000 from early position and Kitty Kuo announced she was all in from the hijack for 238,000. Action folded back to Burns, who quickly called all in for a bit over 200,000 to put himself at risk.

Kahle Burns: 9♦9♣All in
Kitty Kuo: A♦Q♦

It was a fair fight between Burns' pair and Kuo's two overs, but the 7♣Q♠2♣Q♣8♥ runout favored Kuo after improving her to trips — eliminating Burns shortly after late reg closed.

Cheng Gu opened from under the gun and was called by Najeem Ajez from the cutoff. Kahle Burns then shoved for a bit under 100,000 from the small blind, which got a fold from Gu and and a call from Ajez to put Burns at risk.

Kahle Burns: A♣10♥All in
Najeem Ajez: 6♣6♥

It was a race that went Burns' way after the A♥Q♦4♥8♣4♠ runout paired Burns' ace for the double up.

"I was trying to avoid sitautions like that!" a frustrated Ajez said.
