Buckley Picks Off Piskunovas' Bluff
Level 23
: Blinds 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Mark Buckley raised to 50,000 from the cutoff with Vasilijus Piskunovas calling from the button.
Buckley bet 25,000 on the K♥4♣K♣ flop and Piskunovas called.
The turn came the 7♥ and Buckley check-called a bet of 30,000 from Piskunovas.
After the 8♠ dropped on the river, Buckley checked, and Piskunovas bet 100,000 with just 3,000 behind. Buckley instantly called.
Piskunovas showed Q♠J♠ for queen-high, and lost to the pocket aces of Buckley with A♦A♠.
