Curl Smacks the River to Double
Level 21
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Nathan Allen raised to 80,000 in early position before Rick Burleson three-bet to 400,000 in the cutoff. Alan Curl shoved for 500,000 on the button, Allen folded, while Burleson called the extra few chips.
Alan Curl: A♦K♦ 
Rick Burleson: A♣K♠
Both players showed ace-king and were poised to chop the pot, but the 7♦Q♦3♠ flop gave Curl a flush draw. The turn was the 8♠, and the J♦ river gave Curl his flush to earn him a double up.
