Buckingham Building a Palace After Lucky River
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
More than 1,000,000 was already in the middle as Richard Buckingham and Denis Strebkov went to the turn on a board of A♠10♥J♥4♣. Buckingham then bet 400,000 from the small blind and Strebkov called in middle position.
The river was the J♠ and Buckingham bet another 600,000. Strebkov quickly called and Buckingham turned over J♦10♦ for a rivered full house. Strebkov let out a loud sigh as he picked up his cards.
"King-queen?" Buckingham asked, and Strebkov indeed tossed K♠Q♠ into the muck as the massive pot was pushed to Buckingham.
