Butler's Opponent Picks the Wrong Time to Shove
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A player in the small blind moved all in for 30,000 and Brandon Butler called in the big blind.
All-In Player: Q♦5♦
Brandon Butler: A♣A♠
The small blind had run right into Butler's aces, but he got some hope on the Q♣J♣2♣ flop with top pair. The turn, though, brought the A♦ to give Butler top set, and he secured the knockout after the 7♥ river.
"He was definitely just trying to steal the blinds," tablemate Mark Lafata said after the hand.
