NIck Burris is a Big Deal

Kirk Brown

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Hisey opened to 6,500 and received one call, but then Nick Burris moved all for around 55,000. action folded back to Hisey who tank-called while the other player tapped the table and open folded pocket sixes.

The cards were then tabled, with Hisey at risk of elimination.

Jason Hisey: A?Q?
Nick Burris: K?K?

Hisey needed some help to stay alive, but the flop of 2?10?K? put him pretty far behind as it gave Burris top set of kings, although Hisey now could hit a jack for a straight or go runner-runner clubs.

Unfortunately for him, the runout came 2?7? for brick-brick and Burris was awarded the pot.

"Yeah, im kind of a big deal around here," Burris said with a grin as Hisey exited the tournament area.
