Buckley’s, It Tastes Awful But it Works

Patrick Buckley raised to 21,000 in middle position and Roch Cousineau called on the button. Chip leader Igor Sharaskin came in with a pot-sized raise to 87,000 from the big blind however and Buckley called all in for the 7,000 he had left. Cousineau called the Sharaskin raise and the two would play a sidepot. The flop down {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Sharaskin led out for 100,000 straight. Cousineau folded his hand and the other two players flipped theirs up.

Buckley: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Sharaskin: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Buckley’s pair of fours were amazingly in the lead for the time being. Once the {J-Clubs} hit the turn however, it gave him the nuts with broadway and as long as he could avoid a ten on the river, he would scoop all of the main pot. The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Buckley did in fact hold up although Sharaskin didn’t seem to mind as he won the far bigger sidepot to extend his chip lead.
