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 A10J4. 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 J10 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 KQ into the muck as the massive pot was pushed to Buckingham.
