Burns Backdoors a Straight
Level 27
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
The action folded around to Kahle Burns in the small blind, who limped in. Romain Morvan checked his option in the big blind to see a flop of 2♠7♥7♣, where both checked.
The 6♣ on the turn saw Burns fire out 340,000 and Morvan called to see the 5♣ hit the river. Burns reached for chips and then bet 855,000. Morvan quickly called.
Burns then revealed he backdoored a straight with 9♦8♣, and Morvan threw his A♠6♦ into the muck.
