Burns Sends Opponent to Rail
Level 28
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Joseph Burns raised in early position, and then faced an all-in bet from the player to his immediate left.
Action folded back to Burns, who had the all-in player covered, and he quickly snap called to put his opponent at risk.
Opponent: A♠Q♠ 
Joseph Burns: A♥A♦
“You had to have that,” the all-in player said upon seeing the tabled cards.
Burns’ opponent then asked dealer to put spades on the board, but the request wasn’t accommodated because the dealer fanned J♣4♦5♦ on the flop. Then, the K♦ on the turn and Q♥ on the river gave Burns the knockout blow.
