button in SafariHuang Busts Bunkley's Aces
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
The action was recounted to PokerNews by the players at the table.
Antuan Bunkley opened from under the gun before Xuejun Huang responded with a three-bet to 11,000 on the button. Bunkley four-bet to 39,500, but the bidding did not stop there. Huang opted to five-bet jam for approximately 150,000, and Bunkley called to put himself at risk for slightly less.
Antuan Bunkley: A♣A♥
Xuejun Huang: K♦K♣
Bunkley was well ahead of Huang, and the flop did not alter that when it fanned out 6♣Q♠9♥.
The turn was safe for Bunkley when it peeled the 6♠.
Just when it appeared he was headed for a big double-up on Day 2abc, the river brought about his demise as the K♥ came down to bust Bunkley in dramatic fashion.
