Adrian Buckley opened from early position to 1,000 and was three-bet to 2,300 by Aaron Frei, who was on the button. The big blind four-bet to 10,000, leaving himself around 2,000 behind. Buckley five-bet to 23,000 and Frei got out of the way before the big blind put in his last few chips.

Adrian Buckley: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Big Blind: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

The flop and turn came {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and the big blind was in the process of getting out of his seat, despite still being ahead with his threes. Buckley jokingly mentioned something about it before predicting a ten would fall on the river.

The river did in fact fall {10-Clubs} and the player who had just been eliminated walked by Buckley with a smile on his face, congratulating him on the nice hand as he departed.
