Butler Finds Himself as the Bubble Boy
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Brandon Butler moved all in from under the gun for his stack of 14,000, which was called by Everett Gilmour in early position and William Henricks in middle position. Then John Roberts three-bet to 100,000, and the rest of the table quickly folded around to leave to the players heads up, with Butler at risk.
