Burns Gets Burned
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
The preflop action escaped us, but we do know that Steve Burns managed to get his stack of 130,000 or so all in and in a great spot against Kevin O'Connor.
O'Connor: 
Burns: 
Both players shared a king, which meant Burns' kicker made him a big favorite. However, O'Connor managed to pair his on the 
flop to take the lead. The 
turn improved him to trips, meaning Burns needed a jack and a jack only to stay alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
. Burns missed and was sent to the payout desk, but not before saying his final words, "Nice hit."
