Zeharia Getting Blessed by the Deck

David Salituro

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Assaf Zeharia and Kahle Burns were heads-up on a board of K?8?J?10?K? with around 12,000 in the pot when Burns bet 2,500 from the big blind. Zeharia then moved all in from the cutoff.

Burns had around 23,000 remaining and went into the tank for several minutes. "Flush is good?" Zeharia asked him.

"If you don't have a flush, why do you think," Zeharia added as Burns continued to think through the decision for his tournament life.

"Am I supposed to fold if I don't have a flush?" Burns replied.

"Take your time. Four minutes you have, but not too long into break," Zeharia added, pointing to the clock that continued to tick down towards dinner break.

Burns eventually folded and Zeharia showed A?Q? for a royal flush. "You have to show that one," Burns said.

"This guy has been getting blessed by the deck," a tablemate said as Zeharia added more to his massive stack.
