Level 5 : 150/300, 300 ante

Adrian Buckley, pictured at another event

Adrian Buckley opened from early position to 1,000 and was three-bet to 2,300 by Aaron Frei, who was on the button. The big blind four-bet to 10,000, leaving himself around 2,000 behind. Buckley five-bet to 23,000 and Frei got out of the way before the big blind put in his last few chips.

Adrian Buckley:
Big Blind:

The flop and turn came and the big blind was in the process of getting out of his seat, despite still being ahead with his threes. Buckley jokingly mentioned something about it before predicting a ten would fall on the river.

The river did in fact fall and the player who had just been eliminated walked by Buckley with a smile on his face, congratulating him on the nice hand as he departed.
