Burke chopped

J. Burke raised to 2000 in early position and Sidicki Mohange moved all in for 8200 in middle position. Steven Laughlin did likewise for 8925 on his immediate left and it was folded back to Burke. He weighed up the value and decided to call with 8 8. He was in great shape against Mohange’s A K and Laughlin’s A K. The flop 9 5 3 was good for Laughlin but Burke was still in the box seat. However, the turn K was not kind to Burke and the river Q meant that the big slickers chopped it up.
