Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kahle Burns pushed his chips forward to the dealer after he had ended up second-best to James Carroll. Both players had hit two pair on the A♠K♥7♦ flop with Burns holding the A♥7♠6♣3♣. However, Carroll was way ahead with the A♣K♦J♠4♥ and it remained that way throughout the 5♥ turn as well as Q♦ river.

Shortly after, Vivian Saliba departed from the same table as the field plummeted below 60 hopefuls.
