Burton Makes Set and Loses Out to Runner-Runner Flush
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Following an under the gun raise, Stephen Cherry moved all in for 550,000 from the small blind. Tom Burton shoved over the top from the big blind with the bigger stack and the original raiser folded. The cards were turned on their backs.
Stephen Cherry: A♠8♦
Tom Burton: J♥J♣
The board ran out J♦4♦10♠K♦A♦. Burton made a set of jacks on the flop, but Cherry made a runner-runner flush on the river. The runout was such that even the floor staff took a moment to realize what had happened.
Burton's stack was reduced to just 150,000 chips.
