Burch Just Misses Day Two

Claudio Elizalde

Niveau 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

James Sheeham and Ryan Burch were both all-in with nearly the exact same stack size.

James Sheeham: 9♥8♥
Ryan Burch: A♦K♦

While it's unclear when the chips got in the middle, PokerNews picked up the action as the pot was pushed towards Sheeham on a board of 3♦K♠8♦5♣8♠.

After the dealer got an official count, Burch announced, "We're getting a bag! Two chips and a chair!"

The very next hand Burch's 8♠9♣ was unable to best the AxJx, leaving him to take a walk just minutes from bag and tag for day two.
