St. Hilaire Eliminates Two, Burkholder Almsot Follows
We recently witnessed a three-way, all-in pot involving James St. Hilaire, Eric Buchman, and Thomas Finneran. St. Hilaire had the other two players covered and the cards were turned up:
Finneran:
Buchman:
St. Hilaire:
Finneran was in the lead but had to dodge a lot of over cards, which he did on the flop. The on the turn gave Buchman and St. Hilaire a plethora of outs to make a straight, and it was the on the river that gave St. Hilaire the aforementioned hand. Buchman and Finneran were both eliminated on the hand while St. Hilaire stacked his newly won chips.
The very next hand, Steven Burkholder moved all in from the cutoff with and was called by the St. Hilaire, who was still stacking chips from the previous hand. The flop was no help to Burkholder while the on the turn provided some chop outs. Luckily for Burkholder, the river was the and it was indeed a chop.
