Burns Gets Burned

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The preflop action escaped us, but we do know that Steve Burns managed to get his stack of 130,000 or so all in and in a great spot against Kevin O'Connor.

O'Connor: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Burns: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Both players shared a king, which meant Burns' kicker made him a big favorite. However, O'Connor managed to pair his on the {7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} flop to take the lead. The {Q-Clubs} turn improved him to trips, meaning Burns needed a jack and a jack only to stay alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {6-Spades}. Burns missed and was sent to the payout desk, but not before saying his final words, "Nice hit."
