Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

We got to the table just in time to see Tim Burden stand up from his chair and shout, "Yes!"

The board was showing .

He then recounted what had just happened.

Curtis Waggoner preflop raised to 30,000, and Burden three-bet to 75,000.

Waggoner then four-bet shoved all in, was called by Burden, and the two players tabled their hands.

Burden:
Waggoner:

Burden rivered the flush, which eliminated Waggoner from the tourney.

Maybe there is something to Burden's lucky fedora after all.

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In the last hand before the break Tim Burden raised to 23,000 from UTG+1.

Greg Wood made it 52,000 from the next seat over, action folded back to Burden who made the call, and they went heads up to the flop.

On the flop, Burden checked and then called the 56,000 bet from Wood.

After Burden led out on the turn, Wood asked how much was the bet.

The dealer confirmed 118,000, and Wood made the call.

Burden then led out again on the river, and was met with a snap-call by Wood.

Burden tabled , which was no good against the that Wood tabled.

Echele Gets Lucky to Eliminate Bridwell

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

We came upon the action with Andy Echele in the tank. He had 78,000 our in front of him from the button and was debating what to do as Grant Bridwell was all in for 255,000 from middle position. Eventually he made the call and said he hoped it was a flip.

Echele:
Bridwell:

It wasn't a flip as Echele only had one over. That's all it took though as the flop paired his ace. Neither the turn nor river helped Bridwell and he was sent packing in 26th place.
