Adrian Buckley was all in from the cutoff for 48,000 with 3s3h, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against the AsQh of Howard Mash on the button.

The board came Ks9s4h8c7h, and the pocket threes held up for Buckley to win the pot and double up in chips.

Adrian Buckley  –  111,000  (22 bb)
Howard Mash  –  160,000  (32 bb)

A few hands later, a player raised under the gun to 12,000, and Buckley moved all in from middle position for 111,000. The player in the cutoff reraised to about 275,000, and the UTG player quickly folded.

Buckley turned over AdQs, but he was in trouble against the cutoff’s QhQc.

The board came 10d9d4h3dAh, and Buckley spiked an ace on the river to stay alive and double up in chips.

Adrian Buckley  –  247,000  (49 bb)

The field has reached the final 15 tables, but with the dinner break just minutes away, the 30-second Action Clock won’t be introduced until the players return from dinner.
