Eric Rivera: 
Burton was behind and would need help to survive. That help came on the

improved Burton to a full house as he exclaimed, "That is the best thing I've seen!".

Alexander Burton: 
Phong Nguyen: 
This time Burton had his opponent dominated and after a clean runout of 
he went from being one of the shortest stacks in the room to tournament average in the span of a couple hands.
"Can we go for the hatrick?" Burton wondered aloud. It was not to be, however, as he folded his next hand preflop.
