Degennaro Spikes River to Double
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action folded to Richard Burke in the small blind, who raised to around 70,000, covering Daniele Degennaro in the big blind.
After around 90 seconds of thought, Degennaro committed his stack of 53,000 to the middle.
Daniele Degennaro: K♥3♠ 
Richard Burke: K♠9♦
Degennaro was crushed, and Burke was happiest with the 8♣7♣6♥ flop.
The 4♠ turn was a brick, but the 3♣ hit on the river to keep Degennaro in it. Burke could only lament his misfortune once again.
