Bujtas Spikes the River to Double
Level 18
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Laszlo Bujtas raised to 280,000 in the cutoff before Gruffudd Pugh-Jones reraised to 920,000 in the small blind. Bujtas then moved all in for 1,155,000, and Pugh-Jones called.
Laszlo Bujtas: A♥K♥10♣9♠
Gruffudd Pugh-Jones: K♠K♦9♥8♠
Bujtas needed to improve against Pugh-Jones' kings to stay alive. The flop came J♥4♦3♠, while the 8♦ turn gave Bujtas more outs with a straight draw. The river was the A♠ and Bujtas hit top pair to win the pot and double up.
