Zektser, Obst Chop a Big One Off Burnside
Level 31
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 0 ante
Three-handed on a flop of 9♠A♥2♦, Kyle Burnside bet from under the gun and Igor Zektser raised on the button. James Obst called the raise, as did Burnside.
The turn came the Q♦ and Burnside bet again. Zektser called all in and Obst stuck around to see the 6♥ river, where Burnside and Obst both checked.
Zektser showed A♠2♣4♣7♥ for the low, while Obst had A♦8♣6♠4♦ for two pair, aces and sixes, to win the high. Burnside flashed A♣J♣ before he mucked.
"Look at the size of this pot," Nick Kost observed as it took several minutes for the dealer to chop it up between Zektser and Obst.
