Bucher Gets Wish Granted Before Busting

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We arrived in time to see an unhappy Jeff Bucher packing his bag and Dean Blatt stacking up a lot of chips so asked Bucher what had happened.

Bucher told us how he had not seen a set all day before getting what he wished for and then wishing he hadn’t.

Contemplating a Dean Blatt raise Bucher looked down to see pocket threes with the tournament clock reading 13:33 and, seeing this as a sign the Kiwi made the call.

When the auspicious flop fell {8-}{6-}{3-} Bucher thought all his prayers had been answered and unsurprisingly all the chips ended up in the middle. Unfortunately for Bucher, Blatt had also flopped a set holding pocket sixes and the case three failed to make an appearance to end Bucher’s Main Event.
