Buckner Gets One Through
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
A player from early position bet 700 and received calls from players in the hijack, button, Steve Buckner in the small blind and a player in the big blind.
The flop came 9♣3♠J♠ and action checked around to the player on the button who bet 1,400. Buckner raised to 3,100, forcing everyone out of the pot except the original raiser who made the call.
Action checked through on the 5♦ turn. When the 2♠ came on the river Buckner bet 5,300, sending his opponent deep into the tank.
After a little over a minute the player on the button folded and Bucker showed 10♦8♣ for a missed straight draw turned into a river bluff.
