Burchfield Chipping Up
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A player limped in from early position and action folded around to Patrick Cantrell, who completed his small blind. Kris Burchfield threw out a raise to 42,000 from the big blind, getting a call from the limper and a fold from Cantrell.
The flop came 
and both players checked. Burchfield fired 35,000 on the turn 
and his opponent called.
The river fell 
and Burchfield gathered 132,000 and threw it out in a manner that it fell over itself, neatly splayed on the felt. His opponent thought for about 35 seconds and decided to let his hand go, resulting in Burchfield taking down the pot and bringing his stack over 1.3 million along the way.
