Burford Joins the Seven-Figure Club

In a blind vs. blind matchup Mark Burford and Will Nguyen both put 72,000 in the pot preflop. The flop came {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades} {9-Spades} and both players checked. The turn brought the {9-Clubs}, Burford checked, Nguyen bet 48,000 and Burford check-raised to 125,000. Nguyen called and the {4-Clubs} came on the river. Burford bet 225,000 and Nguyen called, only to look sickened when Burford tabled {9-Hearts} {5-Clubs} for trip nines.

Reginald Roberts Eliminated in 18th Place ($14,102)

Reginald Roberts 18th Place.
Reginald Roberts 18th Place.

Reginald Roberts is out 18th here in Choctaw after a dirty little river.

He bumped it up pre-flop only to see Mark Burford call on the button and Daniel Lowery defend his big blind.

The flop fell {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Roberts promptly shoved. Burford made the call with {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and after Lowery pitched his cards in the muck, Roberts revealed his {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

The turn was a promising {a-Spades}, but the {3-Hearts} river did him in, giving Burford the flush.
