Niveau 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
On a board of 10♥K♦Q♣2♥, there were around 80,000 chips in the middle when Kenny Burke got his stack of 125,000 in the middle, and was put at risk by Maksim Vaskresenski.
Kenny Burke: K♠Q♦ 
Maksim Vaskresenski: A♠A♦
Burke had flopped two pair to get his nose in front of the aces, but still needed to fade the river card in order to survive and double up. The British player actually improved to a full house on the K♣ river, which secured him the pot and a stack of around 330,000.
