Burland Avoids Snooker
Jamie Burland, who won the UKIPT Brighton(the EPT's little sister event in the UK and Ireland) and got a free EPT London seat as a result has just flipped his way up to 690,000. He had opened preflop to 25,500 before Mohammed Barkatul reraised all-in in the big blind for about 330,000.
Burland thought for about two minutes and got a count before making the call, flipping to Barkatul's .
The board came ....
"Yes!" exclaimed Burland, "8-ball, corner pocket."
Having Barkatul covered, Burland moves up to 690,000
