Buboi Eighty-Sixes Boosted J
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Vasile Buboi and Justin "Boosted J" Smith had already built a decent-sized pot by the time the flop arrived 
, at which point Buboi checked, Smith bet 31,000, and Buboi called. The turn then brought the 
and another check from Buboi, and when Smith announced he was all in for his last 100,000 or so, Buboi instantly called.
Smith had 
for top pair of queens, but Buboi had hit the perfect turn card as he showed 
for an eight-high straight. Smith exhaled and stood as the meaningless 
fell on the river, and quickly left having been removed from the tournament in 22nd place.
"That's my favorite hand right there," said Buboi to the table afterwards. "Eight-six."
