Burris Claims an Elimination
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player in early position went all-in for his final 26,000 and was called by Nicholas Burris to be at risk.
Opponent: A♠9♠
Nicholas Burris: A♥8♦
Burris had kicker problems, but the flop made it so his opponent would be the one searching for his kicker when it came 2♥5♠8♥.
Burris would hold with his pair of eights on the 6♣ turn and the Q♠ river, scoring the knockout.
