Burns is on Fire!
Level 27
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Kahle Burns opened to 325,000 from under the gun with 10♣9♠ and was called by Steven Zhou holding 9♦6♦ in the big blind.
Zhou led out for 150,000 on the J♠9♥7♣ flop and Burns called.
The 9♣ turn fell on the turn — improving both players to trips. Zhou then check-called an 800,000 bet from Burns.
The 8♦ river kept Burns' kicker best and Zhou checked a final time. Burns sized up for a bet of 1,400,000 and Zhou quickly called to see the bad news.
With that pot, Burns is now sitting with 18 million — which is more than three times that of Zhou, who sits a distant second.
