The Rich Get Richer
Level 10
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Mark Buckley defended his big blind against the under-the-gun raise of Elias Vaaraniemi and check-called a bet of 6,100 on the 
turn. Buckley also checked the 
on the river and Vaaraniemi made it 11,800 to go. Buckley studied his opponent carefully and called, but promptly mucked when he was shown the 
by Vaaraniemi.
Two hands later, Buckley opened to 4,200 on the button and Vaaraniemi three-bet to 15,700 out of the small blind, which ended the hand right there.
