Steve Buckner

Steve Buckner open-ripped for his last 875,000 and Alejandro Amador quickly called.

Amador: AhQc
Buckner: Ad5c

“Nice hand Cuz,” Buckner told Amador.

Buckner had a lot of problems with the smaller ace and it got worse when Amadar paired his queen on the QhJc2h flop. The Ac turn left Buckner drawing dead to the 3h river and third place.

Alejandro Amador – 8,700,000 (87 bb)
Felipe Luyanda – 12,100,000 (121 bb)
