Massive Double for Burtin
Level 27
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
With 2,750,000 in the middle, the flop read 9♠7♠6♥. Kirill Burtin bet 1,400,000 before his only opponent in the hand, Ara Melkisetian raised to 5,400,000. Burtin thought about it for a couple of seconds before announcing all-in for 11,275,000, and Melkisetian snap-called.
Kirill Burtin: 9♦8♥
Ara Melkisetian: A♠9♥
Both players flopped top pair, but Melkisetian had the lead with the ace-kicker. The 8♦ turn improved Burtin to two pair and he was able to fade the ace river as the 3♥ hit the table.
