Burns Sends Opponent to Rail
Level 28
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Joseph Burns raised in early position, and then faced an all-in bet from the player to his immediate left.
Action folded back to Burns, who had the all-in player covered, and he quickly snap called to put his opponent at risk.
Opponent: A?Q? 
Joseph Burns: A?A?
“You had to have that,” the all-in player said upon seeing the tabled cards.
Burns’ opponent then asked dealer to put spades on the board, but the request wasn’t accommodated because the dealer fanned J?4?5? on the flop. Then, the K? on the turn and Q? on the river gave Burns the knockout blow.
