Busquet Busts Robl With a Rivered Wheel

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Olivier Busquet Moves On
Olivier Busquet Moves On

With Andrew Robl holding 114,000 chips and the blinds at 4,000/8,000, Olivier Busquet min-raised and Robl shoved his stack into the middle. Busquet made what he later termed "a reluctant call" with {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Robl flipped up {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, which had the Frenchman's holding dominated. The flop was revealed to be {A-}{2-}{4-} and Busquet picked up four additional outs. A turn card of {6-} was no help, but a {3-} on the river completed the heads-up specialist's wheel straight and propelled him into the Round of 16.
