Buckingham Shakes Hobold Off the Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Richard Buckingham opened to 25,000 and got two callers in Douglas Hobold on the button, and Ryan Biermann in the big blind.
The trio saw a flop of K♥Q♥8♣. Biermann checked prompting Buckingham to continue with 45,000. Hobold called but Bierman decided he'd seen enough and folded.
The turn J♣ fell and Buckingham kept up the pressure with a 60,000, which Hobold called once again.
Not letting up, Buckingham fired 125,000, finally shaking Hobold off the pot.
