Level 33
: 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
With the blinds moving up, John Smith had seen his stack dwindle to fewer than 10 big blinds and a limped pot saw him check the flop, Mark Burford checked behind. On the
turn, Smith led for 10,000 and Burford raised to 25,000, then quickly called the shove of Smith for 88,800.
John Smith:
Mark Burford:
The magic river gave Smith trips and he doubled.
"Oh come on, you gotta be kidding me," Burford gasped.
