Burke Triples Up

Before the dinner break, Ron Burke's stack had dwindled down to 37,000, just over one big bet, but he has just tripled up to get himself a little breathing room. After Andrew Brongo raised, Burke put in the last of his chips. Casey McCarrel called out of the big blind, and Brongo called the raise as well. Brongo and McCarrel checked down a board of {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and Brongo showed {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for two pair, but Burke revealed {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a better two pair, giving him the triple up.
