Buchta Leads Into Romero

Frank Visser

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Enrico Romero raised to 200,000 in early position. The action then folded to Simon Buchta in the big blind, who defended.

Buchta decided to lead out for 145,000 on the 7♦8♠4♥ flop and was called by Romero.

The 7♥ turn and 8♦ river were checked by both. Buchta shook his head and tabled J♦10♠ for the two pair on the board with a jack kicker.

Romero had the better kicker with A♦6♦ and raked in the small but important pot.
