To make the leap to the pros on the Main Tour , Burns took part in the tournaments of the Pontin's International Open Series between 2006 and 2010 .

In the 2010/11 season , the Q School replaced the PIOS series as a qualifying tournament series for amateurs: Burns failed twice in 2011 in the semi-finals (against Stuart Carrington and Chen Zhe ) of his group. In 2012 he won his group in the first tournament and received a 2-year tour ticket for the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons .
Burns also tried to compete with the professional players of the Main Tour in the tournaments of the 2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons of the Players Tour Championship . In both seasons he reached the round of 32 twice, defeating players like James Wattana and Rory McLeod .
During the Snooker World Cup 2000 (his only participation in this tournament so far) he lost his opening game in qualification.
