Bye, Bye, Burgess
Level 22
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
A player in early position opened the pot with a raise to 26,000, and Mike Minetti called next door. Around in the blinds, Jerry Burgess quickly announced an all in for 101,000 total. That folded the initial raiser, but Minetti conveniently had 75,000 chips in his hand, and he dropped them into the pot to put Burgess at risk.
Showdown
Minetti:
Burgess:
The flop connected with Burgess' overcards, but it also gave Minetti a flush draw to chase down. And the chase wouldn't last long. The dropped right off on the turn, and the river is the last card Burgess will see today. The North Carolina native has been eliminated in 35th place.
