It was a flip, and Buddiga was just looking to hold to stay alive. That's just what he did when the board ran out a safe

O'Dwyer At It Again
Level 10
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Steve O'Dwyer, currently the number one ranked player in the world and already up almost a million this year after having won the $50,000 High Roller at the PCA, is at it again. He has almost 400,000 in chips, though he said he hadn't really scored a double up. "I just knocked out the player in that seat twice" O'Dwyer said with a smile.
He's still able to lose pots, though they're mostly not that big. Just now he opened to 5,300 from the cutoff and he called Andrew Lichtenberger's 23,400 shove from the small blind. O'Dwyer reluctantly called with 
and was dominated by "LuckyChewy"'s 
. Hopes of a high board resulting in a chop vanished after the flop came 
. The 
on the turn and 
on the river were blanks and Lichtenberger doubled.

Sun Sets on Sammartino
Level 10
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Dario Sammatino opened for 20,000 from the cutoff and left himself just 8,500 behind. Action folded to Dzmitry Urbanovich in the big blind, and he thought for a bit before just calling. Urbanovich then moved all in on the 
flop and Sammartino called off.
Sammartino: 
Urbanovich:
The 
turn have Urbanovich his flush, and he rapped the table to wish Sammartino, who was drawing dead, a good game. The meaningless was put out on the river for good measure, and then Sammartino collected his things and headed toward the exit.
