Alexander Burkart Eliminated in 24th Place ($5,995)

After a flop of {J-Spades}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri checked, Alexander Burkart bet, Barbieri check-raised, Burkart three-bet, Barbieri made it four bets, and Burkart called.

The turn was the {J-Hearts}. Barbieri bet, Burkart raised, Barbieri reraised, and Burkart called. The river was the {K-Spades}. Barbieri bet, and Burkart called.

Could it be? Yes, it could. The Sugar Bear turned over {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for quads, and Burkart mucked, down to just 20,000. Barbieri moved up to 305,000 on that one.

Soon after, Burkart had all of his chips in on a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} holding {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and was up against Jason Tam's {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and the river the {Q-Diamonds}, and Burkart is out in 24th place. Tam had slipped but is now back up to 122,000.
