Burleson Over 400K

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Rick Burleson
Rick Burleson

Rick Burleson was just seen with 260,000 after having been one of the last players to get in the tournament. He just chipped up even further to 416,000 and shared the details of how it went down.

Under the gun limped in and action folded around to Burleson in the cutoff. He limped in as well before the big blind pumped it up to 20,000. The under-the-gun limper folded and Burleson called, taking action heads up to a flop of {9-}{5-}{3-} with two hearts. The big blind made a continuation-bet of 25,000 and Burleson peeled.

The turn came {2-Hearts} to bring a third heart on board and the big blind fired a second barrel for 25,000. Burleson stuck around again and the river fell {3-}. The big blind emptied the clip, betting another 20,000, and Burleson raised him all in. He quickly called.

Big Blind: {k-}{k-}
Rick Burleson: {2-}{2-}

Burleson's flop call brought him gin on the turn and scored him a knockout and a pot that vaulted him over 400,000, making him the likely chip leader in the room with a handful of minutes left in Level 14.
