Massive Double for Burtin
Level 27
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
With 2,750,000 in the middle, the flop read 9?7?6?. Kirill Burtin bet 1,400,000 before his only opponent in the hand, Ara Melkisetian raised to 5,400,000. Burtin thought about it for a couple of seconds before announcing all-in for 11,275,000, and Melkisetian snap-called.
Kirill Burtin: 9?8?
Ara Melkisetian: A?9?
Both players flopped top pair, but Melkisetian had the lead with the ace-kicker. The 8? turn improved Burtin to two pair and he was able to fade the ace river as the 3? hit the table.
