Dong Puts a Big Dent in Burns' Stack

Kahle Burns made it 500,000 to go from under the gun holding K♠5♥ and Nelson Dong called from the small with blind 9♦9♠. Steven Zhou also called from the big blind with Q♦6♦.

The flop came 5♣J♥A♠ and when the action got to Burns, he bet 425,000. Only Dong called.

Dong improved to a set on the 9♥ turn and he checked once again, then Burns bet 1,600,000. Dong took around a minute before he counted out a raise to 3,300,000, which sent Burns into the tank. Two minutes later, Burns called with his pair of fives.

A 7♠ landed on the river and with over 9,000,000 in the pot, Dong shoved for 2,600,000.

"Ah, what the hell do you have, bro?" sighed Burns as he scratched his forehead trying to figure it out.

"You'll be shocked to see what I'm thinking with," added Burns. One, two, three, four, five minutes passed and Burns was still thinking out loud while he tried to piece together the puzzle.

"All I beat is queen-ten," were Burns' final words before he finally released his hand.
