Chip Average: 431,000
Only 15 minutes into Level 19, the field is down to three tables, thanks in part to Tim Burt, who called correctly against Stuart Breakstone on the river.
With the board reading J♥10♠7♣J♦2♣, Breakstone shoved for 129,000 from the small blind into a pot of about that size. In early position, Burt had to decide for most of his stack whether or not to call the all-in. After counting down his chips and some time in the tank, Burt called with A♦10♦. Breakstone said "good call" and turned over A♠Q♦.
Burt chips up to 490,000 and the remaining field is about to start three table play. A look at the draw and chip counts is below.
