Feel the Burn(s)

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We noticed a player eagerly shove his short stack into the middle, and Jim Burns respond in kind with a call. Burns held {K-Spades}{J-Spades} and was racing against the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} held by his opponent.

Flop: {3-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Burns took the lead with top pair on the flop, and his opponent was left hoping for a miraculous ten to save his tournament life.

Turn: {8-Clubs}

No ten arrived on the turn, but the club added backdoor flush outs to the vulnerable player's list of lifelines.

River: {6-Hearts}

Despite his urgent calls of "club, club" Burns' opponent blanked the river, and he was sent to the payout desk to collect his winnings.
