Burden "Playing the Right Poker" Of His Life
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
James Lyle raised to 25,000 in early position and John Fenwick three-bet to 60,000 in middle position. Tim Burden called in the small blind, while Lyle got out of the way.
Both players checked to the river on a board of 2♠6♣J♠6♦4♣. Burden then bet 85,000, and Fenwick called. Burden turned over J♦J♣ for a full house, and Fenwick mucked.
"I'm playing the best poker of my life," Burden said.
At another table, Tony Aldridge had shoved for 52,000 from the small blind and Doug Simon called in the big blind.
Tony Aldridge: 6♥6♠
Doug Simon: 8♣7♣
Simon hit a pair on the 4♠7♦5♦ flop to take the lead, and Aldridge couldn't catch up on the Q♠ turn or J♣ river as he was sent to the rail. John Frenz and Mary Holton were also eliminated.
