Burns Drills the River and Clears Ten Million
Level 26
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Kahle Burns made it 250,000 to go with K♥10♣ from the hijack and Paawan Bansal called on the button with 9♥9♦. Chad Awerbuch also called from the big blind with A♦2♦.
The flop came Q♦3♥A♥ and all three knuckled the table to see the 3♣ appear on the turn. Awerbuch led out for 325,000 and Burns called with his gutshot. Bansal folded his nines.
A J♠ on the river saw Awerbuch bet again, this time for 650,000, leaving himself 2,000,000 behind.
"How much are you playing at the moment?" asked Burns. Upon getting the answer, Burns announced that he was all in, putting Awerbuch in a gruesome spot with his pair. Eventually, Awerbuch did fold, and Burns' stack grew to eight figures!
