Bujtas Left on Fumes
Level 15
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Laszlo Bujtas raised under the gun to 80,000, and only Chang Lee called from the button.
The duo both checked the J♦4♥8♦ flop before seeing the Q♥ turn. Bujtas checked again, and Lee took the invitation to bet, doing so for 80,000, which Bujtas called.
Bujtas checked for a third time on the 6♣ river, but Lee didn't slow down. This time, he placed a bet of 175,000. This was for most of his opponents' stack, but crucially, not all of it.
Bujtas threw in a reluctant call and was shown the bad news. Lee turned over K♣Q♣ for top-pair, and Bujtas returned his cards face-down to the dealer.
