Burford Reads It Right

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action folded around to the button, who moved all-in for 17,500. The small blind folded and Mark Burford in the big blind went into the tank.

After counting down his stack (40,000), Burford thought some more. After two minutes, Burford finally committed the chips to call and the hands were turned up.

Burford - {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Opponent - {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The board ran out clean for Burford, which came {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, sending his opponent to the rail.

After the hand, Burford said, "It was just such a big raise. Why would you raise that much with a good hand?"
