Burton Busts as Penultimate Bubble Boy

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Things were going slow there for awhile, but things just heated up over at Table 2 on a flop of {6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. We missed the exact details, but we do know Richard Burton ended up shoving right into the made hand of Louis Aquilina.

Aquilina: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Burton: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Burton was chastising himself for the shove, and then watched as the {9-Spades} was put out on the turn to leave him drawing dead. The {10-Hearts} was put out on the river to make it official, and then Burton took his leave in 23rd place.

That means we are just one spot away from the money and hand-for-hand play has been initiated.
