Burch Hangs On to Double

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A player in the cutoff bet 22,000 on a flop of 4♠K♣2♣ and Travis Burch called in the small blind. Stephen Martines then moved all in from the big blind and the cutoff folded, while Burch called for 29,000.

Travis Burch: K♥Q♠ All in
Stephen Martines: A♣10♣

Burch was ahead with top pair but needed to hold on against Martines' flush draw. The 6♥ turn was safe, while the 5♠ fell on the river to give him a double up.
