Buckley Holds With Kings
Level 31
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Mark Buckley raised to 325,000 on the button before Joni Rantamaki shoved from the big blind with the covering stack. Buckley had 4,300,000 behind and snap-called.
Mark Buckley: K♠K♥ 
Joni Rantamaki: A♦3♣
If Rantamak could find an ace to crack the kings of Buckley, he would go into heads-up with around ninety percent of the chips in play. However, the board didn't contain an ace as it came J♥J♠7♣5♦4♣, and now Buckley became the chip leader of the tournament.
