Guan Eliminates Burchfield
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Zhengun Guan raised on the button and faced an all-in by Kris Burchfield from the small blind for 178,000 total. Guan called to put Burchfield at risk.
Kris Burchfield: A♥A♠
Zhengun Guan: K♥8♠
Burchfield had the best starting hand in the game and was poised for a double-up to climb up the standings, but the 2♥9♣K♣ flop gave Guan an opening.
The turn was a disaster for Burchfield as the 8♥ turn gave Guan two pair.
The 3♠ river was the final card Burchfield would see in the tournament as he exited with his aces cracked early on Day 2.
