Buckley Triples Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
On a flop of Q♣2♥9♣, Justin Liberto bet 13,000 from the big blind and Cary Katz called from under the gun. George Abdallah called from the next seat, before Adrian Buckley jammed for 42,500 from the button. Liberto shoved for around 110,000, which got Katz to fold, but Abdallah called for his remaining 29,000.
George Abdallah: K♦J♥J♠10♦9♥ 
Adrian Buckley: A♣Q♦J♣6♠3♥
Justin Liberto: Q♠J♦10♠9♦6♣
Buckley managed to scoop the pot after the rest of the board ran out 5♥7♣, improving Buckley to the nut-nut. Buckley tripled up, while Abdallah headed to the rail.
