Burns Runs Out of Chips

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Elio Fox raised the cutoff to 7,000 and instantly called the shove of Kahle Burns on the button for around 40,000.

Kahle Burns: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Elio Fox: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop and {k-Clubs} turn changed nothing yet and both players held a straight draw. Burns needed a nine or ace to survive but a blank {3-Hearts} followed on the river to eliminate the start-of-the-day chip leader.

Addamo Busts Romero; Seidel Doubles Through Burns

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The hot run of Michael Addamo has continued as he also sent James Romero to the rail.

Romero was all in for what appeared to be 35,000 with the {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Addamo held the superior {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

On a board of {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, the kicker played and Addamo scored the knockout. He glanced over at Romero, shrugged and raked in the pot shortly after.

At almost the same time, Erik Seidel doubled through Kahle Burns. Seidel's cards were still showing as he had flopped two pair with {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} on a {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{k-Spades} board while Burns' cards were mucked already.
