Kuether Wins Biggest Pot of the Tournament

When we arrived at the table, Joe Kuether and Ryan Buckholtz were heads up in a pot that already had 100,000 in the middle. The flop read {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and Kuether checked to Buckholtz, who bet out 83,000. Kuether called, and the turn came the {10-Clubs}. This time, Kuether led out for 140,000, and Buckholtz made the call. The river came the {3-Clubs}, and Kuether took about 30 seconds before betting 115,000. Buckholtz was clearly pained by the bet, as he was trying to figure out if Kuether indeed had the ace. After about two minutes of thinking, he slid in the call.

Kuether tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for broadway, and Buckholtz simply shook his head, before flashing {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a flopped straight that was now no good. After the hand, Buckholz tumbled all the way down to 140,000, while Kuether is your new chip leader, with 1.08 million.
