The Beast That Is Burkett

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jim Burkett's heater continues here and he's now firmly in the lead as the first player above 300,000. Day 1a chip leader Alex Visbisky was the only player to bag 300,000 or more yesterday.

Burkett crested the 300,000 mark moments ago when he three-bet a 2,500 open from under the gun, making it 6,000. The under the gun player called, then checked the {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop. Burkett checked as well, but when the {5-Clubs} turn was revealed and UTG checked again, he led for 10,000.

UTG called and they both checked the {7-Hearts} river. Burkett turned over {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and it was good.
