Kruk Busts Buchanan

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Boris Kolev on the button opened and small blind Christopher Kruk and big blind Shawn Buchanan both called. The blinds checked to the initial raiser on {5-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and a continuation bet of 48,000 followed. Kruk check-raised to 145,000 and big blind Buchanan shoved for 326,000. Kolev gave up, Kruk reluctantly called after having received a complete count.

Shawn Buchanan: {K-Spades}{5-Spades}
Christopher Kruk: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

"How is my ace not live?" Kruk said seconds before the dealer burned and turned the {4-Diamonds}.

Kruk didn't need the ace anymore and the {9-Spades} on the river was inconsequential.

"I thought people were gambling big on the Mayweather fight!" table mate Sam Grafton said.

"I didn't, just so I could blast off today," Kruk snap replied.

"You were a bigger underdog than McGregor mate, just a gutshot!" Grafton said with a big smile before their table was broken.
