The Worst Hand is the Best Hand
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Action folded around to the cutoff, who raised to 2,000. Tim Burden called from his small blind and Aaron Johnson folded his big blind.
Burden checked the 
flop, and then called the 2,200 continuation bet from the cutoff.
After Burden checked the 
turn, the cutoff bet 10,000, at which time Burden then shoved for a total of 12,500, which got an immediate call from the cutoff.
The players then tabled their hands, which showed that Burden was ahead with his two pair, but the cutoff had outs to the flush and a better two pair.
Burden: 
Cutoff: 
The 
river secured the double up for Burden.
