From under the gun, Russell Thomas raised to 100,000. Play folded to Robert Buckenmayer in the hijack seat and he reraised to 235,000. Things then moved to David Kluchman in the small blind and he reraised to 400,000. Action folded back to Buckenmayer and he made a mistake of thinking he only had to call 65,000 more, not 165,000. He tossed in the 65,000, but the dealer instructed him that he needed to call 100,000 more. He did so and the flop came down {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} .

On the flop, Kluchman led for 500,000 and Buckenmayer made the call to see the {6-Spades} pair the board on the turn. Kluchman checked and Buckenmayer took a minute before checking behind.

The river completed the board with the {3-Clubs} and Kluchman moved all in. Buckenmayer snap-called with turned over the {8-Spades} {8-Clubs} for top full house. Kluchman couldn't believe it.

"Ship it," said Buckenmayer sternly as he stood from his chair.

"Sir, don't say that, it's not nice," commented Amnon Filippi from Seat 9. Buckenmayer sat back down.

Buckenmayer's stack was counted down and he was all in for 1.995 million on the river, creating a massive pot of nearly six million and sending it his way. Kluchman was knocked all the way down to 490,000.

Robert Buckenmayer	5,985,000 5,110,000	5,110,000
David Kluchman	490,000 1,935,000	1,935,000

Marcia Topp Eliminated in 71st Place ($106,056)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Scott Abrams opened with a raise to 105,000 from early position, and it folded around to Marcia Topp in the cutoff. She checked her cards, moved her ladybug card protector on top of them, then set out the chips to call.

It folded to Robert Corcione in the big blind who reraised to 315,000, and Abrams quickly let his hand go. Topp then pushed her remaining chips into the middle, totaling about 1.5 million, and Corcione quickly called.

Topp: {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}
Corcione: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}

Topp needed help from the community cards to survive, but they came {10-Spades} {A-Spades} {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {K-Hearts} , and she was eliminated just shy of the final 70.

Kluch-A-Doodle-Double

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The action folded to David Kluchman, who open-shoved his last 505,000 from the cutoff seat. Russell Thomas called from the blinds, and the hands were opened.

Kluchman
Thomas

While we were waiting for the ESPN cameras to set up their shots, Kluchman took a small plastic rooster (that he uses as a card protector) and placed it next to his cards.

The dealer finally rapped the table, and spread {k-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {7-Clubs} , giving Kluchman the lead. The {10-Spades} on the turn gave Thomas four extra outs to catch up, but the {5-Spades} bricked on the river, doubling Kluchman to over a million chips.

"How much for this?" Tristan Clemencon asked Kluchman, pointing to the plastic bird.

Kluchman laughed as he stacked his newfound chips.

Russell Thomas	1,850,000 245,000	245,000
David Kluchman	1,015,000 525,000	525,000

Israelashvili showed the {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} and Heitmann the {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} . The board ran out {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} and the two players chopped up the pot with the flush on board.
