Burden Can't Shake a Surging James
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player raised to 2,300 from middle position, and Timothy Burden called on the button. Robert James three-bet to 8,500 from the small blind, and only Burden called.
James bet 8,000 on the 
flop, and Burden quickly tossed three 5,000 chips into the pot, which was ruled a raise to 16,000. James quickly announced "All in," for Burden's last 25,000, and Burden immediately flung his cards to the muck.
