Burd Jumps to a Big Stack
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
It all started with a rather simple hand in which the cutoff opened and both players in the blinds called. Eduard Burd led the 8?7?6? flop for 35,000 and called a raise to 70,000 by the big blind with the initial raiser folding.
After the J? turn, Burd check-raised all-in into a bet of 135,000 and his opponent reluctantly called for more than 400,000 with the 10?7? for a pair of sevens and gutshot. Burd had the 6?6? for a set and the river was a blank K?.
Soon after, the seat of the player in the big blind was empty and Andrew Hedley confirmed that the remaining chips had also been pushed to Burd as well. The very same player jammed K?J? for a king-high flush draw and Burd called with 10x9x for two pair to score the knockout.
