Buckner Makes His Presence Known

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Steven Buckner
Steven Buckner

Steven Buckner was involved in some table talk with a player at another table after one of his tablemates had apparently slow rolled him.

"Level one and they're slow rolling me. I don't care if it's a $200 or a $10,000, you don't slow roll me."

On the next hand, Shaun York opened the button to 1,300 with Vladimir Nex calling in the small blind and Buckner defending his big blind.

Three checks followed the 910Q flop to see the 3 appear on the turn. Nex checked before Buckner bet 2,200. That was enough to get two quick folds, allowing Buckner to drag in the pot.

While Buckner was stacking the pot, York said to the dealer, "Keep the good hands coming, ace-king that one."

Although the comment wasn’t directed at Buckner, he was quick to reply: "Ace-king? Ace-king is just c**k and b**ls." Then he bellowed out so the nearby tables could hear, "I got a good table here!"
