Michael Addamo: {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Arthur Conan: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Addamo got up from his seat as the board ran out {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}, giving him two pair and the double up.

"Does the stand up. You can't teach what he just did," Kahle Burns said as the players headed off on break.

Limped Pot Propels Conan

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Kahle Burns limped in from the small blind and Arthur Conan checked his option. Burns led out for 15,000 on the {9-Spades}{q-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop and Conan called.

The turn came the {2-Clubs} and Burns bet again, this time for 60,000. Conan called to see the {8-Clubs} fall on the river.

Burns threw out another 60,000 and Conan looked over to see what was happening at the other table, counted down his remaining stack, then stuck in a call.

"King. Just kidding," Burns said as he showed {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Conan had {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of queens to take the pot.

"Gave you a heart attack, huh. France is too good," Burns said to Conan after the hand.

Burns Gets Off Cheap

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Kahle Burns raised to 33,000 from the button and Stephen Chidwick stuck around from the big blind to see the {3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop.

Chidwick checked over to Burns who bet 22,000 and was called. The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Chidwick check-called another bet of 45,000.

Chidwick also checked the {9-Spades} river and this time Burns checked behind. Chidwick turned over {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for trip threes and Burns mucked.

"I definitely lucked out there by not betting," Burns said following the hand.
