Thyzel Doubles; Burns Eliminated
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Yuya Arito raised to 25,000 from early position. Kahle Burns threw in his final 3,000 in chips to go all-in and be at risk. Chad Thyzel decided to also go all-in, but for substantially more, as he jammed for 163,000. Yuya Arito called and had both covered as the cards went on their backs.
Kahle Burns: Q♥8♣
Chad Thyzel: Q♦Q♣
Yuya Arito: J♥10♠
Thyzel led the pack at the start, and the 3♦4♠A♣ flop did nothing material to change that. The K♦ turn gave Arito a straight draw, but the 4♦ river averted any danger for Thyzel's queens to lock up the double-up and the knockout.
