Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Yusuf Buber limped in from the small blind before Cenk Cerci moved all in from the big blind. "I guess I'll go home," Buber said as he called off his last 1,300,000.

Yusuf Buber: K♦7♠ All in
Cenk Cerci: Q♠10♣

Buber found himself ahead as the board came 5♣2♠3♥J♥, but Cerci hit the 10♥ on the river to make a pair and send Buber to the rail in seventh place.

"If he goes all in, you don't call, right?" Soukha Kachittavong asked Cerci.

"No, never. I call with an ace or a king," Cerci replied.

"That's why he should've just shoved instead of limping. He did that to himself," Kachittavong added.
