Buell on the Rise

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Steve Buell opened for 7,500 and the next player clicked it to 12,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Buell and he shoved all in, inducing a fold.

Shortly after that, Buell opened under the gun and the big blind, Kevin Waller, defended. They checked the flop for a board of {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Waller bet 10,500. Buell shoved for 66,000 and Waller tank-called.

Buell: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Waller: {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Waller had some outs with a combo draw. While he improved on the {q-Clubs} river, that card also gave Buell a full house.
