Burkett Scores Double KO
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On a flop of 4♠5♦9♠ Corey Wright announced "pot," from the small blind, putting out 48,000. Samuel Burkett flatted the bet from the hijack, before Kyle Knecht went all in for 206,000 on the button. Wright went deep into the tank, and after about three minutes another player at the table called the clock. On a $300 pay jump, he ended up calling all in for 114,000 before the clock even started. Burkett snapped it off.
Corey Wright: K♦10♣4♣4♦ 
Kyle Knecht: K♠Q♥10♠10♦
Samuel Burkett: A♠6♠3♣3♥
The Q♠ turn fired Burkett into the lead. Knecht was dead despite holding the second nuts, and only a board pairing would save Wright. The 6♥ river meant that Knecht made the pay jump, as he had Wright covered, and Burkett would scoop the whole pot.
