Buckley On A Mission

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
DJ Buckley
DJ Buckley

DJ Buckley moved in his final 5,000 from early position and was called by a player in the hijack and John Dennehey in the cutoff. On the button, Joe Cada raised to 50,000 and both players called.

The flop of {7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} checked to the {q-Diamonds} turn that saw Cada bet small and get two immediate folds, winning him the side pot.

DJ Buckley: {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Joe Cada: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The river {a-Hearts} gave Buckley two pair and a much needed double to his stack.

The following hand, Buckley moved all in for 48,000 and was called by the big blind.

DJ Buckley: {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Big Blind: {q-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Buckley rivered a straight to double once more to a nearly 10 big blind stack.

Kapoor Bluffs Off Top Pair

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jason Kapoor
Jason Kapoor

Jason "Clozer" Kapoor raised to 22,000 from the cutoff and was called by a player in the big blind.

The flop came out {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and the big blind checked to Kapoor who continued for 16,000. The big blind quickly raised to 35,000 and Kapoor clicked it back to 115,000 total.

The big blind debated on his decision for a some time, then flashed a {q-Hearts} as he tossed his hand into the muck. Kapoors' face broke into a grin as he flashed {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} for a pair of jacks which was far behind the pair of queens as he raked in the pot.

Mario Arribas
Mario Arribas

Mario Arribas raised to 16,000 from early position and in the small blind, Brekstyn Schutten three-bet to 67,000. Arribas moved all in for 275,000 and Schutten called to put him at risk.

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts} and the ace-king was unable to improve against Schutten's queens and Arribas became the last player to leave the tournament without any payout.

The remaining 252 players all are guaranteed $2,569.
