LeBlond Spikes the River
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Kahle Burns made it 50,000 to go from middle position and Benjamin LeBlond peeled from the big blind.
The flop came 6♠4♣5♦ and LeBlond shoved for 210,000. Burns quickly called.
Benjamin LeBlond: A♥3♥
Kahle Burns: K♣K♥
Burns was ahead with his pocket kings but had to fade a lot of outs as LeBlond had an over card plus an open-ended straight draw. The 6♦ on the turn was a brick, but the A♠ on the river was good enough to see LeBlond double up.
