Buber Rides a Roller Coaster on Back-to-Back Hands
Yusuf Buber limped in from early position and Keith Becker moved all in for 440,000 in the hijack. Buber called to put Becker at risk.
Keith Becker: A♠J♥ 
Yusuf Buber: 3♦3♥
Becker took out his camera and began filming as the flop came J♠6♦8♥ to give him top pair and the lead. The rest of the board ran out 8♣10♥ and Becker doubled up.
The next hand, Buber raised to 125,000 under the gun and was called by Cenk Cerci in the cutoff and Michael Klein on the button. Mykhailo Lendel then moved all in from the big blind, Buber called for 960,000, and the rest of the table folded.
Yusuf Buber: A♦Q♠
Mykhailo Lendel: 7♥7♦
Buber was the one racing for his tournament life this time, and he hit top pair on the Q♣10♥9♦ flop. The board ran out 5♣J♠, and Buber doubled right back.
"Big swings for you," Klein told him.
