Steve Buckner

Steve Buckner open-shipped for 975,000 first to act, Joseph Hernon called on the button, and the blinds folded.

Buckner: KhQs
Hernon: TdTh

Buckner needed to improve to double and took the lead when he paired his queen on the QhJs2c flop. He faded a bad beat on the 4s turn and 7s river to set off his normal, typical, room-booming celebration.

Steve Buckner – 2,150,000 (29 bb)
Joseph Hernon – 3,800,000 (51 bb)
