Braddock's Set Catches Buckingham's Bluff
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Oliver Braddock opened to 40,000 in middle position and got a 125,000 three-bet from Richard Buckingham in late position. Braddock called, leading them to the flop.
The dealer unfurled 6♥4♦3♦ getting both players to check. They also knuckled the turn 9♥. On the river 2♦, Braddock fired 200,000. Buckingham raised to 500,000. Braddock checked how much Buckingham had behind but decided to just flat call.
Buckingham tabled K♠Q♠ for king-high while Braddock showed 9♦9♠ for a set on the turn.
