Buckingham Keeps Building

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

An early position player checked to Kent Buckingham on his direct left. With the board showing {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts} and about 15,000 in the pot, Buckingham put in a pot-sized bet for 15,000, and his opponent made the call.

The river came {3-Hearts}, putting a possible flush and straight on the board. Both players checked through, and Buckingham turned over {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a set of sixes.

His opponent mucked, and Buckingham continued his upward trend on Day 1a.
