Comeback is Short Lived for Bui

Ryan Lashmar

Level 23

Lawrence Brandt bet from the cutoff and Chris Vitch made it two bets. Todd Bui called from the small blind for less, putting himself all in and at risk.

Action checked around between the two remaining players each street, with Bui standing pat all the way and his two opponents drawing one each for all three draws.

Both Brandt and Vitch bricked, ending up with ace-high and a pair of fives respectively. Bui tabled 7x6x4x3x2x for the second best possible hand and received a nice quadruple up without having to draw once.

Unfortunately the comeback was short lived as Bui was still somewhat short-stacked after the quadruple up and busted out of the tournament a few hands later.
