Luckey Flips Butler to the Rail, Barnum Folds the Same Hand
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Miles Barnum raised to 25,000 in early position and Billy Butler moved all in for 150,000 in the hijack. Brandon Luckey then reshoved for 163,000 on the button.
"I'm going to need a minute, guys," Barnum told his tablemates as he went deep into the tank. He eventually folded after a few minutes, leaving Luckey and Butler heads-up.
Billy Butler: A♣Q♣
Brandon Luckey: J♠J♦
Barnum told Luckey he also had two jacks, while Butler was racing for his tournament life. The 10♦2♥3♠3♣K♠ board was no help, and Luckey took the pot to send Butler to the rail.
