Burstein Bursts Into Second Place
After putting in 2,000,000 each pre-flop, Martin Lechner and Vladimir Burstein took a ![]()
![]()
flop heads-up. Burstein checked, with Lechner putting out a continuation bet of 2,700,000. After Burstein made the call, Lechner went for a second barrel on the
, this time asking for 4,400,000.
Burstein didn't take too long to make the call, and checked the action over a third time when the
hit the river. After a short think, Lechner put down a stack of pink 500,000-value chips, declaring "all-in," and putting Burstein to a decision for his 27,000,000 remaining chips.
Unfortunately for Lechner, Burstein didn't take very long to call off his tournament life with a flopped set, tabling ![]()
. Lechner revealed his ![]()
for a failed bluff, as the huge pot was sent Burstein's way, really levelling out the top of the playing field.
