Buber Stuns Vergara With Running Wheel
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Steve Christopher opened to 32,000 from early position, Yusuf Buber called from middle position, Ken Wang called from the button, and Lucas Vergara squeezed to 155,000 from the small blind. Only Buber called.
The flop came J♦J♥4♦. Vergara bet 125,000, Bubur shoved for 474,000, and Vergara snap-called with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Yusuf Buber: A♣3♣ 
Lucas Vergara: K♦K♥
"I didn't blieve you had it," a dejected Buber told his opponent after the cards had hit their backs. Buber picked up a gutshot to go along with his live ace on the 2♣ turn, and the straight came in on the 5♥ river, securing a colossal pot for Buber at the expense of the start-of-day chip leader.
