Buckley’s, It Tastes Awful But it Works
Patrick Buckley raised to 21,000 in middle position and Roch Cousineau called on the button. Chip leader Igor Sharaskin came in with a pot-sized raise to 87,000 from the big blind however and Buckley called all in for the 7,000 he had left. Cousineau called the Sharaskin raise and the two would play a sidepot. The flop down 
and Sharaskin led out for 100,000 straight. Cousineau folded his hand and the other two players flipped theirs up.

and Buckley did in fact hold up although Sharaskin didn’t seem to mind as he won the far bigger sidepot to extend his chip lead.
