Who Needs a Flop?

[user108095]
[user108095]
Two players with fairly large stacks proved that you don't always need to see a flop in order to win a nice pot.

Andrew Buechner raised to 6,300 from the button and was reraised to 15,000 by James Passavant in the big blind. Buechner reraised again, making it 42,000 to play and Passavant refused to back down, shoving all in for 123,200.

That was enough to get Buechner to cry uncle, and he folded his hand, handing the pot to Passavant, who now sits on a stack with 170,000 chips. Buechner has 145,000.
