"Cuz" Sets Up Stevens to Double Up

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

Steven "Cuz" Buckner raised from early position and a player in middle position called. Scott Stevens re-raised to 2,700 from the big blind and both players called.

They saw a flop of {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Stevens led out with a bet of 5,000. Buckner raised to 12,000 and with the action back on Stevens he made it 30,000. Buckner moved all-in and Stevens called for about 45,000 total.

Stevens turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} but Buckner was holding {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for top set. The turn {10-Clubs} and river {4-Clubs} sealed the deal for Buckner who moved over the century chip mark and Stevens was eliminated.
