Burchfield Busts with Kings
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
After an open to 25,000 and a call from Ghadi Akari, short-stacked Kris Burchfield raised to all but one chip. The original raiser folded and Akari moved all in, to force that last chip into play, which Burchfield quickly tossed in to put himself at risk.
Kris Burchfield: K♠K♣
Ghadi Akari: 9♥10♥
Burchfield was in a great spot to double here with his kings, but the flop of 3♦6♥7♥ was not ideal as it gave Akari a ton of outs with a straight and flush combo draw.
The turn 5♣ was safe, but the river A♥ was the dagger that gave Akari a flush and Burchfield was sent to the payout desk.
