Maki Fuchigami raised to 20,000 under the gun, and faced a reraise from Steven Buckner in the big blind to 70,000.

Fuchigami made the call. The flop hit J76, and Buckner bet 50,000, which Fuchigami also called.

The turn of 10 landed and Buckner went all in with his 560,000 chips.

"Believe me, we can play stack for stack," Buckner said while chomping on a cigar as per his norm. Fuchigami considered it for some time before electing to fold.

"Gonna be a good day," Buckner said.
