Burcham Rivers the Nuts in Massive Pot
Level 25
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Action picked up on the river with a sizable pot brewing in a hand between Dan Burcham in the cutoff and Shane Broesder in the big blind.
With over a million in the middle and the board reading 8♠5♥4♦9♠Q♥, Broesder led out with a bet of 750,000 and Burcham moved all in for 2,350,000 to put himself at risk.
Broesder thought for a moment and made the call with 8♥4♠ for two pair, only to see the bad news when Burcham excitedly tabled J♣10♠ for the nut straight.
