Burtin's Ace-High Good at Showdown
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kirill Burtin wasted no time after the break to get stuck into a pot.
The button opened to 2,500 and Burtin three-bet the small blind to 9,500. The button called.
Burtin bet 7,500 on the 5♠6♦J♣ flop and 10,500 on the 9♥ turn, which the button called both times.
On the 2♥ river, both players knuckled it to showdown, where Burtin revealed A♦8♠ for just ace-high. Surprisingly, that was good as the button mucked, and Burtin raked in the pot.
