Earl Burklund - 10th Place

Robert Woodcock opened with a raise to 13,000 from middle position. Action folded around to Earl Burklund, and he moved all in for right around 70,000 total, although his stack was never counted. Instantly, Woodcock called, and Burklund knew he was in trouble.

Showdown:
Woodcock: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

Burklund:

{6-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

To make matters worse for the all-in player, the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

came right in the window, and the board ended up reading {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

. Failing to get over the hump, the soft-spoken Earl Burklund is headed to the exit as the 10th-place finisher. For his efforts over the past two days, he will pocket $14,655.
