Burns Cracks Aces With Kings
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
A player on the button had his last 60,000 in chips at risk against James Burns in the big blind, who had him covered by just a few thousand in chips.
Opponent: 
James Burns: 
Burns was in dire straights for the majority of his stack, and the 
flop brought no relief. The 
turn gave Burns the lead with a set, but his opponent still held a gutshot straight draw, the nut flush draw, and could also hit an ace to take back the lead. The 
river was a blank, and Burns eliminated his opponent.
