Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Once again a little late to the party, we walked up to the table to see the dealer put the turn card down on a {8-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} board. There was 34,500 in the pot already, and Steve Burkholder had moved all in for what looked like 50,800. Alex Kamberis was deep in the tank, and he spent several minutes considering before announcing the call.

Burkholder flipped up {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} for top-top, but Kamberis' {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} had him in a world of trouble, drawing dead to two outs in fact. The river was the {3-Diamonds} though, a blank, and Burkholder is outta here.

With that large pot, Kamberis moves up to about 295,000 now and into contention for the chip lead.
