Dropping Like Flemmings

Jeff Buffenbarger

If you're wondering what a Flemming is, then it's a cross between a fly and a lemming. Either way, the action has picked up with players dropping thick and fast, the latest casualty being Jeff Buffenbarger.

It all happened like lightning. With the board reading {K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Jeff check-called an all-in from Peter on the river sending Jeff out in third.

Luckily, I know these two players rather well and was able to catch up with them after the hand.

"I had K-6," reported a disheartened Jeff. "I tried to represent the flush on the turn by betting out 20k, but found I was betting into a made hand with Peter holding {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. He had the hand I was trying to represent. By the river, my stack was pretty small and I had top pair, so thought I had to call."
