Hit by the Buss

Very few people have had the festival that Jonathan Bussieres is currently rolling on. After attempting to qualify for the NL Hold'em Quantum Day 2 for the third time, Bussieres has jumped into the Grand Prix and has immediately made an impact.

Holding {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, Bussieres had two players all-in and at risk preflop. One had {q-}{9-} and the other, {k-}{7-}. The board ran out {8-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Bussieres scooped the entire pot.
