Former Champ Makes Presence Felt
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
This hand was picked up on the flop of 10♠8♥6♥ before Marvin Donaldson bet 2,000 from the big blind. A player from the hijack called before former RGPS Hard Rock Tulsa champion Nicholas Burris made it 8,000 from the cutoff. Donaldson folded, but the cutoff called.
The cutoff shoved for 20,000 on the A♣ turn. Burris called and put the cutoff at risk.
Opponent: J♦9♥
Nicholas Burris: 10♦6♦
Burris held the lead with two pair, but his opponent had an open-ended straight draw to stay in contention.
The straight did not come on the 8♠ river as Burris scored the elimination.
