Randy Sim

Randy Sim opened the action from under the gun for 7,000 and it folded around to Steve Buckner on the button. He raised to 11,000 and the small blind player moved all in for 41,000. Sim moved all in over the top for 126,000 and Buckner asked for a count.

After talking it through with the rest of the room, Buckner folded his hand.

“I’m gonna show it for the camera,” Buckner said, tablind AsKh.

Sim: AhTh
Small Blind: QsTs

“Ace ten, are you kidding me!” Buckner said to Sim. “I gave you too much credit. Put a queen out there to punish him!”

Sim was ahead and Buckner was out of his chair when a king came on the Kd7s4d flop. The 4h turn and 8d river finished the board to send the small blind player out.

Randy Sim – 181,000 (60 bb)
