Burke Building a Mountain
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Joe Burke came into Day 2 near the top of the chip leaderboard, and he's approaching the half-million mark in chips in the first level of the day.
Burke added to the stack in hand against Michael Pearson. With 
on the board, Burke checked from the small blind, Pearson bet 11,000 from the button, and Burke check-raised to 30,000. Pearson made the call.
Burke continued the betting, putting in another 35,000 on the 
turn, and getting the call from Pearson.
Both players checked the 
river, and Burke showed 
to take down the pot.
