Gathy Drills the River to Double Through Burns
Level 28
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Kahle Burns opened to 1,200,000 on the button and Michael Gathy moved all in for 10,200,000 from the big blind. Burns quickly called to put Gathy at risk and hands were turned face up.
Michael Gathy: 4♠4♣
Kahle Burns: K♦K♥
Burns found another great spot with an overpair against an underpair, and the J♠2♣5♣10♥ flop and turn left Gathy one card from elimination.
However, the 4♦ appeared on the river — improving Gathy to an unlikely set on the end to award him a dramatic double up.
