Third Degree Burns

We heard the excited yell of Stephen Burns as he hit his card, followed by the rest of the table yelling out in shock when another card came to silence him.
According to Brian Kurrus, the new owner of Burns' previously healthy stack, the drama began when Burns opened for 4,000, and then called Kurrus' reraise of 10,500.
The flop came 
and Burns checked to the aggressor, only to raise all in when Kurrus made it 10,500 to play. Holding 
, Kurrus was more than happy to oblige, and he happily called the additional 42,000 or so. Burns tabled 
for top pair-top kicker, but he was outmatched by Kurrus and his cowboys.
Turn: 
The arrival of an ace on board prompted Burns' vocal celebration, but before he could blink, the 
fell in on the river. Burns circled the table for a moment, clapping his hands in frustration, before immediately regaining his composure and laughing the beat off.
"Sick man, a suck and a resuck..." he told us, before offering Kurrus a sincere "nice hand."
