Bujtas Holds On to Take a Massive Chip Lead
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Laszlo Bujtas raised to 45,000 on the button and Tsugunari Toma called, as did big blind Teun Mulder.
The flop came 6♣Q♣10♠ and Bujtas bet 85,000. Both opponents called and the 4♠ fell on the turn.
Bujtas then bet 410,000 and Toma used a time bank before moving all in. Mulder folded, but Bujtas called for 1,331,000.
Toma showed 4♣3♣ for a pair and flush draw, while Bujtas turned over A♣Q♠ for top pair. The 9♦ river missed Toma and Bujtas earned a massive double up.
"I would've called if he called," Mulder lamented, saying he had king-jack and would've hit a straight on the river.
